Corona del Mar 47th Annual Sandcastle Contest

Commodores Club of the Newport Beach Chamber of Commerce hosted the 47th annual Sandcastle Contest

The 47th Annual Sandcastle Contest was yesterday in Corona del Mar.  The sandcastles are absolutely amazing. There are architecture firms, businesses, families and children competing in this event. It is a great way to spend the day with your family either building the sandcastles or just watching the incredible talent. I went to the sandcastle  contest with my two daughters Heather and Morgan.

Here are some photos of the sandcastles.

You can see the incredible detail that is put into each sandcastle. I thought this one was very clever!!sand witch facesand castle

There were some other ones that were pretty interesting, and there was other tributes to the Olympics including this last one which was called "Going for Gold".going for gold

The people who built the sandcaslte's skill levels ranges from the very basic to the most detailed.  For more information, rules and prizes, please view this page. The construction of the sandcastles was from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm, and judging began at 3:00 pm. I was not able to stay for the judging because of an appointment, however I did go back when they were completed to view the finished products.
