Most of us have built sandcastles on the beach before. You know… the kind that involves a plastic shovel and a bucket that is shaped like a castle tower when flipped upside-down.
What if you would like to create something better than that… something that could be described as sand art? Well, you can do it.
Andy Hancock has been offering sandcastle lessons in South Padre for years.

Andy is an expert at creating sandcastles. He is the creator of the largest permanent sandcastle in the US. His work is simply amazing! See for yourself…
