Breakwater Beach Waterpark

Had stopped by here over the weekend on the boardwalk, and I was pissed I spent so much and could not get refunded. They should have a water temperature sensor in the kiddie area so you know whether or not to come in before you pay. Obviously I would not bring my 5 yr old daughter in if I knew she could not play in the kiddie area for more than ten minutes, because it was freezing! It was only a 82 degree partly cloudy day, and these people are A****les! I wanted my money back because like I said I would never have brought her in if I knew it was going to be that cold, the Ocean was only 68degrees that day and it was warmer than this water! Just because its is about 80 degrees, you still have to HEAT THE WATER!

Get ready for a great family day. Staff, customer service, security and even the first aid personnel are top notch. Food is good, pizza is great! Cabana is recommended. We go every year, sometimes two or three times. Thank you.

this place has 2 big tube slides, 2 medium sized tube slides, a kids play area, a lazy river and like 5 small to medium sized body slides. we got here at four and stayed until it closed at seven and with kids from age 10 – 14 and adults everyone had a great time! I would recommend coming after 3 because it’s cheaper and less busy and that’s really all the time you need. the lines when we were there on a Friday in july from 4 – 7 were really short. another good deal is to get the ride and slide combo which gives you unlimited rides at the amusement park and waterpark for the whole day, which we got. the water was a good temperature. overall I thought it was a good deal and pretty fun for what it is. it’s no hurricane harbor or anything of that size but still really enjoyable.

Really long lines. They do not allow parents to take their kids and enter park. So we had to pay to come in and watch our kids. So I do not think the value is great.

I’m a reader of Unilocal reviews and don’t usually write them. Today, I had to write one. That’s how frustrating our experience was at this water park. It was a perfect water park day, 90 degrees and sunny. Drove all the way from NYC to seaside just to go to this water park. Paid well over 100 dollars for admission, locker keys, and parking. There were about 10 people in the whole park when we got there about an hour after opening. I thought it was strange, but figured that maybe people didn’t know that it was open after Sandy. The park is beautiful and seemed clean and well staffed. My five year old was so excited to go in the kiddie area that she ran at full speed into the water and completely froze 2 feet in. Literally. The water was about 50 degrees. So cold that the 30 seconds that she was in the water left her legs completely pink! I thought that maybe she was exaggerating at how cold it was, so I went in after her. It was unbearably cold. Tried the next ride, the lazy river, same thing! I spoke to three lifeguards, asking each whether or not the water was heated and which rides would be warmer. They all responded that the kiddie area was the coldest and to avoid it all together. Even more frustrating, two of the three told us that the water is usually heated, but for some reason, the heat was not turned on today. The only heated attraction was the hot tub, which was not recommended for children. This is after reading the website this morning and it stating that the rides are heated.
We go to a lot of water parks, and did not expect the water to be 80 degrees on a hot day. But really, even an unheated backyard pool is bearable and even refreshing on a hot day. We were in the park a total of 15 minutes. My 5 year old made it clear that she wasn’t going to be going back in the water, and honestly, I wasn’t either. Spoke to guest relations and they told us that the water felt cold because it was a windy day. Really? It gets really windy on the wildwood boardwalk but the rides there don’t give you hypothermia, but I’m no scientist. They refused to give us a refund, but offered us readmission for another day and told us that they couldn’t do anything about the 12 dollar locker fee for the locker we didn’t even use in the short time we were there. Well, we explained to the manager that we spent all of our cash to get in and park so we thought that we would have to tell our daughter that we were driving all the way home. They told us that they don’t give refunds and pretty much blew us off. Decided to make it a cheap day at pt pleasant boardwalk. Wound up having a great time, no thanks to breakwater beach! As we walked out of the park we saw a bunch of little kids standing at the edge of the water shivering in towels. Guess they weren’t going to stay either, big disappointment. Will take the trip to wildwood next time.

Good take, will keep you busy and wet for hours. The GM is a stand up guy, too.
