    We heard they had a restaurant here, so we decided to stop by for happy hour. Parking was easy since there were plenty of parking spaces by the surf park. As we were looking for the entrance, we noticed there was still a lot of construction going on, sand everywhere, and not fully done yet. Besides the wave pool and surf lagoon, they also have a diving pool, sand volleyball court, and seating areas in the sand. One thing we noticed, though, was that there were only about three lifeguards for the whole area when we were there. The luxury cabanas are located right next to the construction zone, so I'd probably wait until everything is done before renting one. At the entrance, that's where you can get beach passes for the River Wave and Surf Lagoon, rent cabanas, and also the restaurant. We got a table on the patio with a view of the wave pool, which was a nice spot to relax. We ordered wings, fries, and a couple of cocktails, perfect for chilling before dinner. I loved my cocktail; the color was so beautiful. We'll probably wait until construction is done before coming back.

    I came here for our weekly happy hour with my husband and in-laws. My margarita was perf. My husband got the Rick Cane. He thought it would be a lettuce wrap but it was more like lettuce buns. He said it was AMAZING he added a side of grilled pineapple pico which he adored. I had the HH fish taco, meh. My MIL got the flatbread and liked it very much. She said the crust was thick and flakey. Service was slow. I will say I was greeted with a smile and a hello by three people within 90 seconds of walking through the door. Very friendly. It was pretty clean, cute shop in front. There were a lot of flies when we were there.

    I heard about Revel Surf before it was being built. As someone who grew up on a beach, spent most of their life on a beach, and now lives in a desert, my heart always belongs on the beach and it makes me sad to be so far away. If going to a man-made beach is the closest thing I can get living in the East Valley of Phoenix, I will take it. I've always wanted to learn how to surf, and I love the idea as someone who has young children to be able to take their kids to the beach and have a nice, relaxing time. What I will say, the hours are not the most ideal because the place itself does not open until noon. I usually like to get out with the kids in the morning for those types of experiences. My daughter naps until two so we didn't get there until about 2:45. Parking is plenty full in a lot. It's a great, Newer location with a lot of new restaurants popping. It looks like there's apartment surrounding it as well. Cannon Beach/Revel Surf is a great place to take the family. If you book your tickets ahead of time you will receive $10 off. Otherwise, it was $75 per person per adults and children under four are complimentary. That was helpful but still $200, we decided we were going to stay a lot longer to get a bang for a buck! We also ate at the restaurant which is pretty fun. It's bar food but it's not terrible. My husband ordered the chicken fingers and fries, they have a little shredder menu, which is adorable and my son bought the pepperoni pizza that came with fries. My daughter got the cheese quesadillas, also with fries, and I ordered the Caesar salad that came with a nice big cheese crisps and croutons. The food was good, all things considered. They also sell alcohol at the restaurant, just of course, no glass near the pool. I was surprised to see the high jump there. It was pretty high and looked very fun. I kept telling myself next time I'm going to do that! Despite the high prices, I did think it was a great experience that we will definitely return for. I am still happy to see sand in my car, which is something I haven't seen in a while. Having the feeling of sand in between my toes is definitely one of my favorite feelings. Everyone was super kind there who worked there. The place itself was very busy. Pretty clean. There was a lot of food items left out the entire time we were there, but luckily, no seagulls! Be careful because it can get slippery and some of the paint on the turf is peeling. Already looking forward to another beach day!

    Great food and great vibes! I came here with a friend for their lunch special and it did not disappoint. We both ordered their fish tacos with their Caesar salad. Both were delicious! I am so hooked! Service was great! Parking was a bit limited but we were able to find an empty spot fairly quickly amongst the current construction. Definitely check them out if you're in the area!

    Definitely a cool spot! An actual beach in AZ! We came here on a Tuesday and it wasn't busy so that was amazing. My son is 4 so he got in free. My husband and I were $35 each. If you want to surf, you will have to reserve a time and pay a lot more- like $130 I think my husband said. Love the beach vibes. Everything seemed clean. The signs say no outside food or drinks but we brought both and no one said anything. Also saw many others do the same. They say they do a bag check but didn't which is great. I think they should allow outside food and drink (not alcohol) so that was awesome! We didn't try the restaurant but will be back. There are a lot of upgrades happening around so it will be really awesome when its all done. All in all a nice beach to hang out at when you are missing the beach, I just wish it was a bit cheaper to get in. We will be back!

    I came here with a group of moms of toddlers and it was a good experience! The kids enjoyed playing in the sand most of our time since the water was still very cold. We brought our own beach toys so I highly recommend that! There was a bunch of good food but I loved the chicken parm pizza! We went on a Sunday and it was $25 per person and 4 & under we're free. Not too bad of a price but if it was any more money which I am sure it would be in the summer time, I wouldn't go for any higher price.

    Took a surf lesson. The moment I walked in, I was welcomed by friendly girls. This property is my dream come true. I so wish we had this in Tucson! Surf lesson was beyond fun and the instructor made sure I was able to stand on the board. Gave me lots of tips and kept asking if I had any questions. I also had lunch after my lesson and the food was surprisingly good. Everyone at the facility was friendly. I can't wait to go back!

    Last Sunday, we learned to surf at the lagoon of Revel Surf. Arizona was the last place I'd thought we'd learn to surf, but it happened and was a nice way of cooling off when outside temps reached beyond 115 degrees. There are 10 people in the beginners' surf class so they split us up into groups of 3, 3, and 4. We had 2-3 instructors giving us tips on movement, timing, and placement on the surf boards. They started out showing us how to stand on the board on land and then we went out to the water. We all got a gentle push as the waves went through us at first and then as time progressed and we showed motivation, we could start to paddle on our own and test what we learned. Yes, there were a few "nose dives" and some crashes but you could easily hop off the board and stand most places. We enjoyed our time so much that the lesson our flew by. We want to come back. We had frozen piña coladas after to celebrate our efforts. They were either non-alcoholic or alcoholic, whichever you prefer. We tried the cliff jumping area before we left. I think the highest jump was 25 feet? That's where we started, haha! It's so nice to jump and not having to worry if the depth is enough. The beach area is beautiful with soft white sand everywhere. It's like being on a resort. There are lots of umbrellas but there is definitely still a need for more shade overall! Next time we return, we will try the river style surfing. It's more like the type we saw in Munich, and we definitely want to work in that. It looks harder than the lagoon surfing, but still fun! I guess it's put some of the wake surfing skills to the test? We shall see!

    Arizona now has a beach! Revel Surf is a hot & new attraction located in Cannon Beach, which is also a hot & new development here in the Valley. Back in April, I took my son and three of his friends for some fun in the sun to celebrate my son's birthday. I purchased beach passes ahead of time and passes were $50 per person for our Saturday visit, which I think is pretty steep for beach access, swimming, and diving off Revel Rocks only. It's usually $35 for weekdays. The river wave, surf lessons, boogie boards, cabanas, and more are all extras. Regardless, the boys stayed busy at the Revel Rocks and sand while I relaxed on a beach chair and people watched. I offered to rent boogie boards for them, but they declined saying they didn't need them. I got hungry so I ordered fish tacos and a virgin piña colada from the restaurant, which didn't take long to make. The tacos were decent and I appreciate the big pieces of fish they came with. The frozen drink was delicious. The staff was pleasant. I offered the boys food, but they also declined saying they weren't hungry yet. We stayed for a few hours before taking the party back to the house. We enjoyed our visit and I would really love to return, but $50 per person is a bit too much for our family. Maybe I'll return when I'm able to go on a weekday or if they lower their prices.

    Birthday vibes near the wave pool

    It was a cool experience I learned to surf which was the best experience there but If you Just wanna chill in the water it's not really the vibe. Great atmosphere for kids and families though. If you aren't surfing, entertaining children, or boogie boarding prob not the spot for you but if that's your jam you should try it out.

    Prices as of December 2025

    Great place to learn how to surf in AZ! I was hoping it would be like the old Big Surf, but this place is for people who seriously want to surf--which is great if that's what you're looking for. There's also a cliff-diving area with three height levels, cornhole, sand volleyball courts, a skate rink, and a separate FlowRider-style area (strong enough for full-size surfboards). They also have a bar with live music.

    All the staff is super nice here and accommodating. If you are in the area go ahead and try it out but don't make a special trip for it. Waves are small, even the "larger ones" there isn't that much difference. For the price it's expensive but we did it just to try it out. The bartenders were on point making it for a good day in Arizona.

    Had a birthday "pool" day with my friends. I enjoyed the cabana experience, they have a fridge stocked with water (though it was Dasani and really do not like Dasani). The fan and mist was a big help with this heat and the place was all around clean. The lady assigned to our cabana was very attentive and sweet, making sure we were always taken cared of. I wish there was access to the water from the cabana so we didn't have to walk around. The surf area was a bit smaller than I anticipated and I hope they expand to area where people that aren't actively surfing can just relax in the water.

The employees weren't the same and friendly anymore. The two young lady's that were managers always made sure I had what I needed and we would catch up like old friends! When I had come in hoping to see them and the crew, the new assistant manager let me know that none of them are there anymore. This place has gone downhill with their uplifting spirits! Quiksilver please bring back the old vibes!!!

    This place is great. They sell men's and women's clothing in Quiksilver and DC. What I like about…read moreQuiksilver is that most of their shorts are made from recycled plastic bottles. Also, they have quite a few shorts with an 18 or 19 inseem which is hard to find; I prefer shorter length. Their shorts and trunks are lightweight which is nice for the summer. They have tanks, shirts, shoes, skateboards, hats, water bottles, backpacks, sunglasses, and much more. For a big name brand they are my favorite due to environmental friendliness and their stuff fits well, it last a long time, too. Got some amphibians here a few summers ago and wore them in Belize and Guatemala for 18 days straight...caving, tubing, hiking, swimming and they worked great. Dried fast and were always up to the task whatever it was. Scott and Blake are good guys as well as the rest of the staff.
