KEMAH, TEXAS (November 10, 2026) – Kemah Boardwalk is making a splash with the reveal of Boardwalk Bay, its newest pirate and shipwreck-themed water park, set to open in spring 2027. Located across from the Boardwalk Inn and next to the Main Event Plaza, the new water park will bring even more excitement to the Kemah Boardwalk, offering guests an all-new way to play and cool off along the Gulf Coast. Kemah Boardwalk officially broke ground in October 2026.

"Families have been making memories on the Kemah Boardwalk for more than two decades, and Boardwalk Bay is the next chapter in that story," said Terry Turney, Chief Operating Officer of Kemah Boardwalk. "Between the pirate ships, the slides and a play zone built just for our youngest guests, it's the kind of place kids will beg to come back to, and parents will be happy to say yes to. Pair it with our rides, restaurants and waterfront views, and it's a full day on the Gulf Coast."

Boardwalk Bay will feature 11 water slides, private cabanas and other resort-style amenities designed to give guests even more reasons to spend the day at the Boardwalk. A dedicated kids’ play area will give younger guests their own space to splash and explore.

Additional details on Boardwalk Bay, including ride names, renderings, and ticketing information will be revealed in the months ahead.

All restaurants, rides, and attractions at will remain open during construction.
