    It's pretty neat, but doesn't take much time to walk around. It is fun to start looking for other sandcastles around the area after visiting this one!  more »

    Like most of the reviewers mentioned its beautiful piece. Not too big, probably made with added materials as well. But you could stop by, to take pictures and enjoy.  more »

    Love the island. We've come every year for the past 4years and always have a nice relaxing time.
  • By El Bayda
    We took the kids to see the sandcastle during our visit to the island, and they were thrilled with it. They love it. It is a great scene to explore. Very beautiful, and show the amazing work that the artists did. It is a must to see.
  • By Celeste Robinson Bivins
    Very helpful for things to do in the community. Went to the turtle rehabilitation center and dolphin watching. Thanks for the helpful suggestions.
  • By J Woo
    Amazing sand castles made by very talented artists. It'll inspire you to want to build your own sand castle.

    A large sculpture in front of the Visitors Center. What a beautiful sand castle.
