I think Stormalong Bay genuinely is the best pool at Walt Disney World. Plenty of Disney resorts have slides and multiple swimming areas, but the sand bottom, quiet coves, lazy river, and overall variety put this one over the top for me. On one of our Beach Club stays, we planned a down day and spent a lot of time here. My oldest granddaughter was quite young then, and she had a fantastic time just playing in the sand in one of the quieter coves.<\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Location\"><\/span>Location<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Stormalong Bay sits between <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/blog\/walt-disney-world-resorts\/disneys-beach-club-resort\/\">Disney&#8217;s Beach Club Resort<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/blog\/walt-disney-world-resorts\/disneys-yacht-club-resort\/\">Disney&#8217;s Yacht Club Resort<\/a> along the Crescent Lake promenade.<\/p>\n<p>It is also available to guests staying at Disney&#8217;s Beach Club Villas.<\/p>\n<p>The complex stretches across the waterfront rather than sitting in one compact courtyard, so it takes a little more effort to understand than a typical Disney resort pool.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_Can_Use_Stormalong_Bay\"><\/span>Who Can Use Stormalong Bay?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Stormalong Bay is restricted to registered guests staying at:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Disney&#8217;s Beach Club Resort<\/li>\n<li>Disney&#8217;s Yacht Club Resort<\/li>\n<li>Disney&#8217;s Beach Club Villas<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Guests staying at other Walt Disney World resorts cannot pool-hop to Stormalong Bay, including guests at the other resorts around Crescent Lake.<\/p>\n<p>Cast Members verify your resort stay and issue wristbands for pool access.<\/p>\n<p>You can use a MagicBand, Key to the World card, or My Disney Experience on your mobile device to verify your stay.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do not plan on inviting friends or relatives staying elsewhere at Walt Disney World to join you at Stormalong Bay.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stormalong_Bay_Is_a_Complex_of_Different_Pool_Areas\"><\/span>Stormalong Bay Is a Complex of Different Pool Areas<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Stormalong Bay does not feel like one large swimming pool.<\/p>\n<p>It is a collection of connected and adjacent water areas, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sand-bottom swimming areas<\/li>\n<li>A gently sloping sandy beach entry<\/li>\n<li>A lazy river<\/li>\n<li>Quieter coves and calmer sections<\/li>\n<li>A large shipwreck waterslide<\/li>\n<li>A smaller children&#8217;s waterslide<\/li>\n<li>Three whirlpool spas<\/li>\n<li>An elevated tanning deck<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That variety allows different members of the family to use the complex in very different ways without everyone needing to spend the afternoon doing the same thing.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Sand-Bottom_Pool_Is_What_Makes_Stormalong_Bay_Different\"><\/span>The Sand-Bottom Pool Is What Makes Stormalong Bay Different<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Stormalong-Bay-at-Disneys-Yacht-and-Beach-Club-Sandy-Beach.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-42552 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Stormalong-Bay-at-Disneys-Yacht-and-Beach-Club-Sandy-Beach.jpg\" alt=\"Sand-bottom beach area at Stormalong Bay\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Stormalong-Bay-at-Disneys-Yacht-and-Beach-Club-Sandy-Beach.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Stormalong-Bay-at-Disneys-Yacht-and-Beach-Club-Sandy-Beach-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Stormalong-Bay-at-Disneys-Yacht-and-Beach-Club-Sandy-Beach-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The sand-bottom areas are the feature that most clearly separates Stormalong Bay from the other Walt Disney World resort pools.<\/p>\n<p>This is not simply a themed pool surrounded by a beach.

The pirate ship is outside the fenced Stormalong Bay pool area, on the beach side of the Crescent Lake promenade. To ride, you leave the pool complex, cross the promenade, and enter the ship on the beach. The slide then crosses back over the promenade into Stormalong Bay. If your child is not old enough to make that trip independently, plan to escort them each time.<\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stormalong_Bay_for_Younger_Children\"><\/span>Stormalong Bay for Younger Children<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Younger children do not need to use the big waterslide to get a lot out of Stormalong Bay.<\/p>\n<p>The gently sloping sandy beach gives them a place to wade and play, and the Shipwreck Pool has a miniature waterslide.<\/p>\n<p>For some younger children, though, the simplest feature may be the best one: finding a quiet sandy section and playing there.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Whirlpool_Spas_Quiet_Areas_and_Adults\"><\/span>Whirlpool Spas, Quiet Areas, and Adults<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Stormalong-Bay-at-Disneys-Yacht-and-Beach-Club-Coves.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-42549 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Stormalong-Bay-at-Disneys-Yacht-and-Beach-Club-Coves.jpg\" alt=\"Quiet swimming coves at Stormalong Bay\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Stormalong-Bay-at-Disneys-Yacht-and-Beach-Club-Coves.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Stormalong-Bay-at-Disneys-Yacht-and-Beach-Club-Coves-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Stormalong-Bay-at-Disneys-Yacht-and-Beach-Club-Coves-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Stormalong Bay is not just for families with children.<\/p>\n<p>The complex includes three whirlpool spas, quieter swimming areas, an elevated tanning deck, the lazy river, and plenty of places to spend time away from the busiest waterslide and children&#8217;s areas.<\/p>\n<p>That makes it easy for adults to enjoy Stormalong Bay even if they have no interest in the big slide.<\/p>\n<p>It is also useful for families whose members want different things from a pool afternoon.
