Want to know how to build a sandcastle? Let me share some fun sandcastle building tips for everyone! Whether young or older, everyone can have fun at the beach when they build a sandcastle!

But first, did you know that Delray Beach in Delray Beach, Florida is rated the #2 best sandcastle beach in Florida?

Yes, it’s true! 

Delray Beach is the #2 best sandcastle building beach according to Fodor's Travel.

Every year Delray Beach has a sandcastle building contest on the morning of the Fourth of July celebrations.

Here's two beautiful sandcastles that I captured one year as I enjoyed strolling the beach after one of the sandcastle contests.

The elaborate sandcastles are made right on the beach and they truly are a piece of art work to enjoy! This is right near the Fourth of July celebrations, so it gives everyone the opportunity to stroll the beach and view the sandcastles, at the same time.

Beach, Kids and Sandcastles

Kids and sandcastles go together like peanut butter and jelly! Kids just love to make sandcastles.

And, it’s great beach fun for kids to learn how to build a sandcastle!  Learning and fun are always a great combination mom and dad ;-)
