Sand is something you either hate or love. Yes, it gets everywhere, but MAN, is it fun to build stuff with! When you were a kid, sandcastles were an essential part of any beach trip. Nowadays, beach trips usually just involve alcohol and a good book. These photos of amazing sand art might inspire that childlike imagination we lost !

Space, the final frontier. This sandcastle is honestly STUNNING. I will never understand how they get those edges so crisp. This tower is futuristic and beautiful, all in one.
2. Art with a message

This piece of sand art comes with a reminder. It has a hashtag “save the sea” and features some amazing dolphins swimming in a hyper-realistic way. It’s pretty amazing.
3. Sand Palace

What’s the difference between a palace and a castle? Not really sure. This “sand palace” is still beautiful, even if we don’t know how to classify it.
4. Pro shipbuilder

This pirate ship is so good. I don’t know how they made this entirely out of the sand. Even the little holes where the cannons would come out are present. Details make the picture here.
5. Reclining

If we could watch TV while on the beach, it would definitely look like this. Comfy, chilling, and covered in sand. This cool-cat is living the life.
6. Beautiful, this is

We all know who this guy is. Yoda is about as popular an alien you can get. What’s wild about this sculpture is that we don’t really have anything for scale! It could be massive or tiny.
7. Layers on layers

If you didn’t immediately see what this image is depicting, think of Christmas! Yes, it’s Santa Claus and a big bag of toys about to go out for his sleigh ride… or maybe he’s just going to catch a wave.
8. An entire scene

This Elizabethan era scene is complete with a train, corsets, and a sun-umbrella. Honestly, it’s one of the best ones we’ve seen so far. It even looks to scale, which is wild.
9. Soft sand

One of the coolest things that sculptors can do with things like this is turning a hard medium (stone or sand) into something that looks soft. This baby is made of sand but looks like he would be soft to the touch.
10. Fortress by the sea

This hyper-realistic sculpture is probably our favorite. I mean, the artistry of it is absolutely insane. This took years of practice to get something as beautiful as this.
