Belmar Sand Castle Contest

For 37 years, DJ's in Belmar, NJ hosts a Sand Sculpture Contest that is nothing short of amazing.
We go every year but it was so hot on Wednesday we decided not to attend.
These pictures are some of my favorites from years past.



This was my favorite...










After checking online, I found these pictures from this year that were published in our local newspaper,

Colouring the sand is a new one for me. Some great sand crafting there!

There is a similar competition here in Hampton Beach, NH, and we have seen some amazing sand sculptures just as fantastic as several showed in this post, Debbie.

So sorry it was too hot to attend, can you imagine what it must be like for them to build something in the hot sand. They are amazing!
