These Epic Sand Sculptures Turn An Ordinary Beach Into An Art Museum

I'm going to create a picture for you. Close your eyes, wait, nevermind you can't or else you won't be able to read this. Anyways. You're four-years-old and your parents have just taken you to the beach. They pack the funky life jacket, some pb&j sandwiches, a couple juice boxes, and a bucket and matching shovel. You just know it's going to be an epic day building sand castles all day.

This still happens for grownups at the beach, except now they're exchanging juice boxes for ciders and sand buckets for chisels, as they create literal art out of sand.

Check out Shrek and Donkey!

Whoever created this sand sculpture must really love Shrek.

Donkey and Shrek look so realistic! I mean even down to the wood grains on the logs!

This sand sculpture is breathtaking.

This artist created an actual sand goddess. The detail of the markings in her hair is incredible!

Walking by this, I might think it's a real mermaid.

Wow, this seriously looks like a real horse.

The artist who carved this made sure to get the details of a horse's muscles and even the embellishments of the harness!

I wonder if that bell actually rings?

Of course, we couldn't leave a real sand castle out of the list.

I love that this sculpture features a little girl actually making a sand castle.

I'll tell you, I was not making sand castles like this at that age!
