Palm Springs Surf Club combines several experiences at one address: a surf pool, a seasonal waterpark, dining, cabanas and event spaces. The key to planning well is to decide what you actually want to do before buying anything, because surf sessions, waterpark entry and reserved seating are distinct products.
Best for: surfers booking a specific wave session, families seeking a seasonal waterpark, groups reserving a cabana and visitors who want to dine without committing to a full activity day.
Choose your experience first
Surf session
Public surf sessions are organized by ability and wave setting, with seasonal beginner opportunities as well as intermediate, advanced and expert sessions. Private sessions give a group exclusive use of the surf pool and customizable wave choices. Public booking windows may open only a few months at a time, while private inquiries can be made farther ahead.
Seasonal waterpark
General admission normally includes the lazy river, lounge pool, waterslides and splash pad, plus access to the restaurants and bars. The waterpark is seasonal, so never assume that a warm Palm Springs day means every attraction is operating.
Cabanas and daybeds
Cabanas and daybeds are separately reservable options for visitors prioritizing shade, seating and a slower pool day. Compare exactly what each reservation includes before checkout.
Dining or events
The property’s dining venues can be a reason to visit without surfing, and the club also hosts public and private events. Hours differ across the surf pool, waterpark and restaurants; check each component separately.
