Need a break between slides? Set your sights on the lazy river—your go-to spot at Shipwreck Island Waterpark to cool off, recharge, and drift your way into total relaxation. With two float options to choose from, it’s easy to float your way, all day.
🛟 U-Float: Sit Back and Cruise in Comfort
The U-Float is a guest favorite—and for good reason. Shaped like a chair, it offers built-in back support and a more upright position, perfect for a leisurely, comfy ride around the river. It’s ideal for longer floats and soaking up the mellow side of the park.
💦 Traditional Tube: The Classic Way to Play
Craving a more playful vibe? The traditional tube is a lightweight, bounce-along option that’s especially popular with kids (and the young at heart). Drift with the current, splash with the crew, and enjoy a free-floating ride that’s perfect for families and waterpark adventurers of all ages.

🌴 Pro Tip for Lazy River Lovers
Cooling down between attractions? Hit the lazy river and let your float of choice do the work. Whether you’re lounging in a U-Float or gliding in a tube, there’s no wrong way to relax here.
The lazy river is one of the most beloved spots at Shipwreck Island Waterpark—where all ages can kick back and soak up the good vibes. So grab a float, find your chill, and enjoy the slow side of Panama City Beach’s favorite waterpark.
