Every year, locals and visitors alike gather on the beach to marvel at the incredible sand sculptures that are created during the contest. With prizes awarded for the best sandcastle designs,participants pour their creativity and ingenuity into crafting stunning works of art from the sand.
Competition categories range from families with young children to experienced sandcastle builders, everyone is welcome to join in the fun and show off their skills. But the Sandcastle Contest isn’t just about the competition – it’s a day of fun for the whole family. Alongside the sandcastle building, there will be music, food vendors, and other activities to enjoy throughout the day. And with the stunning Pacific Ocean as a backdrop, there’s no better place to spend a day at the beach.
