Sandcastle Days is South Padre Island’s long-running sand sculpting competition, founded by local sculptors Walter McDonald (“Amazin’ Walter”) and Lucinda Wierenga. Master sculptors compete in a World Championship qualifier while the beach turns into a free festival with live music, local art and food.

Why yacht rock fans go

Free entry, a beach bar stage and huge sculptures under a Gulf sunset make an easy weekend.

Plan your visit

Go on the final day to see the finished sculptures, and again at night if the evening lighting returns.
Bring sun protection; there is little shade on the sand.
