"Aside from midmorning hikes where everyone forgets to put sunscreen on their neck, there aren’t a ton of options for big group activities in Palm Springs. The Palm Springs Surf Club is doing its part to change that. The upscale waterpark features several slides, private cabanas, and the largest wave pool we’ve ever seen. There’s also Amala. The all-day restaurant serves solid versions of ahi poke with lotus root chips, fish tacos, soft pretzels, and other things you want to eat while staring at people floating on the lazy river. Admission to the water park costs $42, but you can dine at Amala without buying a ticket." - Brant Cox
