Me either. I don't know how they did make sandcastle. Maybe they had more artwork experience in the past. Well, I'm not good at making sand things myself! :lol:

Don't quote me on this. But I think they use Hairspray to keep the sand particles "stuck" together.

If I could do that I would make a cemetery out of sand for Halloween! :D

You have to appreciate that effort because the ocean reclaims the sand in no time.
All you that doth my grave pass by,
As you are now so once was I,
As I am now so you must be,
Prepare for death & follow me.
