Thing To Do Ocean Breeze Waterpark

When the summer sun is blazing in, and you're looking to take a break from the beach, there’s one place Virginia Beach locals and visitors love to visit: Ocean Breeze Waterpark! Just a quick 30-minute drive from Sandbridge Beach, this tropical-themed water wonderland is packed with slides, splashes, and smiles for all ages. Ocean Breeze boasts over 30 rides and attractions, including 16 full-size water slides, a massive one‑million‑gallon wave pool, a lazy tube river, and a pirate-themed play area—plenty of splashy fun for anyone visiting!

Rides and Things to Do at Ocean Breeze

Whether you're a thrill-seeker or more of a lazy-river-drift type, Ocean Breeze has something for everyone. Here are a few favorites:

  • Adventure River – Grab a tube and float your stress away.

  • The Hurricane – A high-speed slide that’ll get your heart racing.

  • Hook’s Lagoon – A pirate-themed play area just for the littles, with mini slides and splash zones.


  • Runaway Bay – A giant wave pool (with real waves!) that’s always a hit on hot days.

  • Riptide Rocket & Jungle Falls – More slides than you can ride in one afternoon—but hey, that’s why locals get the season pass.

And don’t worry—if you're just looking to relax, there are plenty of shaded cabanas, snack stands, and loungers waiting for you.

Ocean Breeze also offers fun events throughout the year live Dine-In Movies and Adults-Only nights with DJs, dancing, glow foam, and drink specials. Keep an eye on the events section to find an event that suits your group!

Why We Love it

Ocean Breeze is one of those places you never really outgrow. It's big enough to keep the kids happy all day, but not so massive you need a map to get around. Plus, it’s clean, well-staffed, and just the right mix of excitement and chill.

Staying in Sandbridge?

Ocean Breeze Waterpark is the perfect day trip to mix things up from your beach routine. After a day of splash-filled fun, you’ll love coming back to your cozy Sandbridge vacation rental to grill out, relax, and do it all again tomorrow.
