With its white sand beaches and freshwater lagoons, Palm Beach has offered Galveston Island visitors a scenic, family-friendly escape to cool off since 1988. Discover a more interactive experience with the addition of a Lazy River and a giant Tower Slide as part of a $5.5 million enhancement.
Explore our new Kon-Tiki themed water adventure!
Amongst the lush, exotic setting, this year you will find a Kon-Tiki themed water adventure with a variety of new choices to engage and explore:
• A 650-linear-foot Lazy River offers over 60 interactive points at which guests on shore can splash and spray as their friends float by along the Lazy River course.
• Two 18-foot enclosed Tower Slides offer a thrilling plunge of refreshment.
Palm Beach's Kon-Tiki theme suggests fun in the sun and a water adventure for all. The area is named after the Incan sun god Viracocha, who was also known as Kon-Tiki.
Norwegian explorer and writer Thor Heyerdahl also traveled the Pacific Ocean from Peru to Polynesia in 1947 on a raft he named Kon-Tiki as he explored the possibility that South Americans could have settled Polynesia in pre-Columbian times.
Other great amenities include a remodeled gift shop, full-service concession and grill, lounge chairs, umbrellas and volleyball courts. Guests will have access to the Splashpad automated aquatic water feature and the Aquarium Adventure playground, which includes eight-feet-tall climb-on platforms, 25-foot Hydro Storm tower with a 500-gallon water dump bucket and more. As the name suggests, the soft white sand at Palm Beach was shipped to Moody Gardens on barges from Florida. The attraction offers lifeguards, showers and lockers.
