The main beach has one large platform in a relative shallow area for the kids to play in. Further down in the newer water tower, which has slides on it. Both were a lot of fun. Lifeguards are on duty to make sure everyone is safe. I noticed that a lot of the parents kinda kept an eye on things as well.
The food there is great. All the free drinks and ice cream you desire. The BBQ grill is simple line-food, but still good. My kid loves the ribs and I prefer the hot dogs. I eat light while on the beach and swimming.
Around lunch time are the crab races. I highly recommend seeing these. It is really funny. The crabs are released and "race" to see which one crawls over the finish line the fastest. There is an MC calling out the race details. There is a way to get "own" a crab and have it race for you, but we never found out how. I imagine you have to get to the box early and try to sign up.
IMPORTANT: on the night before Castaway Cay, CLOSE YOUR CURTAINS. They are pressure washing the ship in the morning so they are going to be on a platform really close to your porthole or sliding glass door. Don't be alarmed on the morning of Castaway Cay because it's just them cleaning the ship (it doesn't sound like it but it is).
If you are an AAA member then you are entitled to free floats and tubes which you pickup and this place across from the splash area. If you bring your own snorkel gear or have anyone in your family that can't swim or is not good swimmer, there are free lifejackets available.
The "Spring-a-Leak" water playground may not look like much to an adult (a series of spouting water), but every kid between 3-10 loved it.
