Sandcastle Contest Fills North Oregon Coast with Thousands


Sandcastle Contest Fills North Oregon Coast with Thousands: "(Cannon Beach, Oregon) – Ornate and intricate sculptures made of sand will be the center of celebration in Cannon Beach, with the 44th Annual Sandcastle day Festival taking over the town on June 7. The event cajoles amateurs, families, professionals and people of all ages to participate in this wildly imaginative festival, with hundreds of sculptures, figures, scenarios and creatures carved out of the sand near Haystack Rock..

Thousands hit the beach in the morning at low tide, to either sculpt these jaw-dropping masterpieces or to watch them being created. Participants compete in various categories, some by age or skill level and some by how members are in the group."
