12th Annual Hampton Beach Master Sand Sculpting

It's that time of year again. I just love the Annual Area Sand Sculpting Competition. I get up at dawn and drive down along the beach until I reach Hampton Beach. I love to be able to get great views of some of the most amazing Sandcastles without fighting the crowds! If you are ever in the area of Hampton Beach, NH in June make time to see this wonderful display.

Thanks so much to all the Sponsor's who make
this event possible.

An early morning trip to the sand castles always includes
a trip to "Eel Pond" to see the waterlillies and ducks.

I am simply amazed at the degree of detail and talent each one of these sculptors have exhibited. They obviously have found ways short of miracles to manipulate the beach sand into smooth, thin, spiked and dimensional ways. Hope deterring wind and rain is another miracle they have mastered. The thought of these amazing sculptures being temporarty is very sad. -Katy
