Come to Texas' Best Beach & Play in the Sand!

Make Plans to Come to the 23rd Annual Sandcastle Days - scheduled for Oct. 20-24, 2010!

Amateur and professional sand sculptors from all over the world descend on South Padre Island every year to create beautiful works of art using natural elements of the beach. The not-for-profit event showcases the artwork and an appreciation for the coastal environment, and donates to organizations helping to preserve it.

Masters of Sand - Some of the best sand sculptors in the world will work their magic in Isla Blanca Park for three days on the shores of the beautiful Gulf of Mexico. This South Padre Island family festival has become one of the biggest and best international sand sculpture competitions in the United States!
