    I can't build a sandcastle with a bucket, let alone begin to wonder how these artist created these! They were simply amazing to see and the attention to detail was simply beautiful.  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.
