Our little beach town puts on SandFest every year to raise money for local charities.

Sandcastle artists, on a circuit of similar events, come n and make magic from our sand. It’s more than castles.

Each of those probably took hours to design on paper before they went anywhere near sand. But then to capture the design so well in the sand... I'm absolutely amazed!

I was wondering where this was. The sand was different from where we went last Sunday -Clearwater Beach (near Tampa) for the Pier 60 Sugar Sand Festival, as well as the beach.

This link has who the artists are, it's likely some of them hit both places.
