Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort makes a splash this spring with new water activities and fun children's programs

DESTIN, FL, March 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort, named the #1 resort on Florida's Emerald Coast, today announced fun in the sun this spring and new activities that are making a splash - including new water sports, a fun and updated children's program and so much more.

New Club KZ
Among the many developments at the resort, Sandestin has updated its exclusive Club KZ; a supervised program which includes everything from Pirate Adventures, Wet N' Wild activities, to a new club house. For ages 4-12, Club KZ's kid-centered experience gives kids the chance to break away for the day and make memories that will last a lifetime.   Children can enjoy a fun filled day camp or a "Kids Night" out on the weekend.

The Debut of Expanded Water Adventures
Water sports are fun for all ages, but with the wide-array of options offered at Sandestin, even the "Techno Tween" travelers keep busy and off their computers to enjoy the outdoors. With a floating water park obstacle course, YOLO boarding (stand-up paddle boarding), parasailing, fishing and so much more it's easy to see why kids and adults alike love the active outdoor lifestyle Sandestin embraces.  A lively social scene at Finz Pool Deck adds to the appeal.

Sandestin's new floating water park at Baytowne Marina will open this April. Adventure Bay at Sandestin will be available to guests and locals.

It Takes a Village for Kids to Have More Fun
The Village of Baytowne Wharf has also expanded its Adventure Zone, which now includes a Euro-Bungy, expanded three-level, 50-foot high Ropes Course, Climbing Wall and its trademark Zipline for guests to have a bird's eye view of the Village and glide over the Lagoon.

Shopping, dining, entertainment and adventure are all easy finds at The Village of Baytowne Wharf, a 28-acre pedestrian village with a family-friendly New Orleans feel. The expansive playground and carousel are equally a draw to eager children wanting to play.

Also new this year in the Village is Blast, an exciting, fun filled entertainment center that will have the entire family coming back for more. With over 60 redemption and video games they are sure to have something for everyone.

For those who enjoy a variety of dining options, Sandestin has that too with more than a dozen restaurants on the resort property.  From the beachside fare of lunch at Finz Beachside Grille, to celebrating sunsets at the Marina Bar and Grille and the fun atmosphere at The Village of Baytowne Wharf, there is something for everyone.
