Tidal Cove

Tidal Cove is a five-acre waterpark inside the JW Marriott Miami Turnberry Resort & Spa in Aventura. The grounds hold seven adult waterslides, including a gravity-defying raft ride and a freefall loop, plus a lazy river, a zero-entry lagoon-style pool and an adults-only Oasis Pool.

The FlowRider Triple is billed as the largest body board machine in the US and Canada, and the Kids Cove has a 4,000 square foot emoji-inspired aquatic playscape. Twenty-five private cabanas add shade, service and poolside dining for guests who want a calmer day.

Five restaurant and bar options serve pizza, afternoon bites and drinks, two of them just outside the entrance. There is also a 12-machine arcade, a lawn game zone called The Game Grove, an on-site retail shop and the Surf House Loft for parties of up to 40.

Lockers, baggage storage and free Wi-Fi are available, and the park is open 9 AM to 6 PM daily. Advance tickets are recommended, and seasonal events such as TidalWeen run on select weekends.
