Sun West Park, a recent addition to Pasco County, is a recreational waterfront facility set in the former limestone quarry known as Sun West Mines. Located just a 10 min drive from Hernando Beach, it has a 70-acre spring-fed lake with an idyllic man-made white sand beach, open to swimming from sunrise to sunset. Lifeguards are on duty from 10 AM to 6 PM during the summer season. Visitors can find a concession stand and beach volleyball courts here. Pets and alcoholic beverages are not allowed. Additionally, no grills or campfires are permitted. Parking requires a $5.00 fee per day.

The Lift Adventure Park offers a range of activities at an extra cost. There’s the Aqua Park, a giant inflatable playground and obstacle course where you can run, climb, jump, swing and slide. The Wake Park is a cable-drawn facility for wakeboarding across the lake. Kayaks and stand up paddleboards can also be rented for use on the lake.
