Relax In A Tropical Wonderland At The Biggest Freshwater Swimming Pond In Mississippi

Between busy schedules and budgets, escaping to the tropics may not be plausible. Lucky for you, we’ve got the next best thing – a visit to Paradise in Picayune. Exactly as the name implies, it’s a true paradise – complete with a well-fed pond and sandy beach. Take a look:

A tropical paradise awaits in the small town of Picayune, and it’s fittingly dubbed Paradise in Picayune.

With a well-fed pond, sandy beach, and a few palm trees, Paradise in Picayune offers a taste of the tropics…right here in Mississippi.

Not only is the pond well-fed and surrounded by white sand...

...but it’s treated and dyed a lovely blue color, so you’ll truly feel as if you’ve escaped to a faraway beach.

And just like a real beach, the water gets deeper the further out you go.

Unlike a real beach, it features a diving board and floating dock.

Only adding to the allure of Paradise in Picayune is the fact that you’ve got to rent it out to visit, which means you’ll have the entire place to yourself.

The best thing is that it’s much more affordable than a tropical getaway. It’s $200 to rent out Paradise in Picayune for 5 hours and up to 20 guests.

Additionally, a $50 (refundable) deposit is due at the time of booking.

The rental doesn't just get you access to the beach, though. You'll also have access to an array of activities and amenities, such as kayaks, BBQ pits, a pavilion, and more.
