They have a SERIOUS bee problem, and my niece was stung on the shoulder as a result. There were dead bees in the wave pool, a myriad of bees buzzing around the grassy areas, and a few even made their way up to the top of the waterslides, which is where my niece was stung.

First Aid did what they could: monitor her vitals, apply anti-itch cream, and keep an eye on her to see if she broke out in hives or stopped breathing. Turns out my niece is not deathly allergic, which means no one had to deal with anaphylactic shock (which I was informed they are NOT equipped to deal with, as there are no epi-pens of any kind on site), but her luck ran out when we discovered she's EXTREMELY sensitive to bee venom. Like stratospherically, absurdly sensitive.

The pain was excruciating and lasted for hours. It radiated down her arm and across her chest. It caused several panic attacks. Tylenol and Ibuprofen couldn't touch it. She was in tears the whole way home.

All because Big Surf is infested with bees, from the bottom of the wave pool all the way up to the top of the slides.

We won't be returning, and I would caution ANYONE with a known bee allergy to stay far, far away.
