When the Beach is Your Castle ... 8 Sandcastles You Won't Believe
With the official start of summer, my thoughts are consumed by planning our potential trips to the beach. Sun, swimming and of course the sand - all three have endless possibilities for summer fun. One skill that I never quite mastered is the art of the sand castle. Mine always turned out like lumps of sand that would soon get stepped on. But unlike me, there are some sand castle over-achievers in the world. The talent, attention to detail, and crazy imaginations behind those outlandish works of art is something to marvel at. Check out these 8 incredible sand castles!
1. Dragon Danger
This sand sculptor paid such close attention to detail. I'm almost scared the dragon will come alive!
