Lagoon Pool: Paradise by the Gulf
The lagoon pool at Edgewater Beach & Golf Resort in Panama City Beach, Florida, is a spectacular 11,500 to 11,800 square-foot, Polynesian-style aquatic paradise that serves as the resort’s centerpiece and main attraction. It is one of a total of eleven pools on the property, but this one excels in grandeur as an expansive, free-form pool that features an intricate system of waterfalls and islands within the pool itself.
🌴 Design and Atmosphere
The lagoon pool is designed to transport guests to a tropical oasis, with lush, tropical landscaping surrounding its perimeter. Its free-form shape eschews traditional rectangular pool designs, creating a more natural and inviting environment reminiscent of an exotic destination. The elaborate waterfalls and small islands add a touch of whimsy and natural beauty, making it a perfect backdrop for a relaxing vacation. The overall atmosphere is lively and family-friendly, often accompanied by the sounds of cascading water and, seasonally, live music.
Size and Features
Spanning over 11,000 square feet, the lagoon pool is a massive body of water, offering abundant space for guests to swim, float, and play without feeling overcrowded. While many of the resort’s other ten pools are seasonally heated, the large lagoon pool is not heated, as its enormous size makes heating impractical. This means the water temperature naturally fluctuates with the weather, offering a refreshing escape during the warm Florida summers. The pool also features special fiber-optic lighting for an enchanting ambiance in the evenings.
🪑 Amenities and Services
The area surrounding the lagoon pool is well-appointed to ensure a comfortable and convenient experience for all guests. There are plenty of complimentary lounge chairs for sunbathing, though they tend to be claimed early in the day, especially during peak season. For those seeking a more luxurious experience, guests have the option to rent select VIP pool lounge sets or private poolside cabanas, which include premium amenities for an additional daily charge.
The VIP lounge chairs are cushioned, and you’ll have your own table and umbrella at your disposal. A server will take care of bringing drinks and snacks upon order.
Ten cabanas surround a portion of the pool and are available for rent at three price points, each offering slight differences in food and beverages included. The shade covers an area with a couch and cushioned chairs, with a fan, mini-fridge, and TV. Side drapes can be dropped for privacy or additional shade. A private polywood deck just in front of the cabana includes a pair of loungers with cushions and an umbrella. Servers are available to handle all your food and beverage requests.
The pool is conveniently located near several of the resort’s dining options. The on-site restaurant, Ocean’s Bar & Grill, offers poolside dining and room service, while the poolside Blender’s Tiki Bar or Shakers Tiki Bar (seasonal) is perfect for grabbing a refreshing frozen drink. A Starbucks and Edgie’s Corner Market are also just a short walk away for coffee, snacks, and other essentials. The nearby kids’ splash pad is an additional feature that ensures younger guests have a dedicated area for fun. There’s even an arcade room right beside the lagoon pool if you’re seeking a little time out of the sun.
Also by the lagoon pool are two large hot tubs, perfect for a bubbly soak day or night. And in the summer, you’ll also find unique additions to the pool deck, such as a shaved ice stand or ice cream kiosk.
Beside the pool is an airbrush hut to get your custom tshirt designs in an array of sizes. There is an extensive list of options on display and the artist is adept at making customizations as desired. Place your order and easily return later when you shirt(s) are ready for pick up.
