Gulf Coast beach vacationers just got another huge reason to visit The Lodge at Gulf State Park this summer.

According to a post from their Instagram account, the resort has just opened up a brand new pool with some absolutely incredible features for guests.

The brand new family pool is three times the size of the original and features a splash pad for the kids, a sun shelf for lounging, a poolside bar and private cabanas. Interestingly, the original pool is now going to become an “adults only oasis for relaxing, unwinding, and soaking up the sun.”

Now, with something truly for everyone, there has never been a better time to visit Gulf State Park than right now. As the weather gets warmer, perhaps the new pool is going to draw even more visitors this summer to one of the best vacation spots in the nation.
