Splashdown Quaywest is the UK's largest all-outdoor waterpark, sitting right next to Goodrington Sands beach on Devon's English Riviera - meaning you can combine a full day on the slides with a classic British beach day, all in one trip.
With 11 adrenaline-pumping flumes and slides rated from easy to severe, there's a ride for every member of the family. Thrill-seekers can take on Devil's Drop - a 65ft near-vertical plunge through a black hole and the highest, fastest flume in the UK - or race through the Wild Kamikaze's three steep drops and the bullet-speed The Screamer. For those who prefer something a little less heart-stopping, Raging Rapids, Surf Lagoon, Corkscrew, and Wet and Wild deliver plenty of waterslide fun without the white-knuckle factor.
With 11 flumes and slides ranging from beginner-friendly to genuinely terrifying, Splashdown Quaywest holds the title of the UK's largest all-outdoor waterpark. From the 65ft Devil's Drop - the highest and fastest flume in the country - to the gentler Corkscrew and Wet and Wild, every thrill level is covered. All slides are rated by difficulty so you can plan your day before you even arrive.
Captain Lewey's Shipwreck Island is a dedicated aqua play zone designed for children under 12, added to the park in 2024. Seven individually named slides, interactive spray features, a rainbow water circle, and the famous tipping bucket make this a highlight for families with younger children - and the shallow exit depth of 0.4m means parents can relax while the kids go wild.
Quaywest's location right alongside Goodrington Sands is genuinely rare - you get a world-class waterpark and a proper Devon beach in a single day out. After the slides, cool down in the 20m swimming pool, grab an ice cream from the Marshfield Farm counter, or settle in at Costa Coffee on the beachfront. It's the kind of day that keeps the whole family happy from arrival to home time.
