Scenes from the Sandcastle Contest

There was hardly any room to walk down on the sand at 18th Avenue July 15th as artists amateur and professional packed the beach to try their hand at sand sculpture.  Event coordinators estimate that 12,000 visitors came to Belmar to marvel over the 350+ sand castles.  If you missed the 23rd Annual NJ Sandcastle Contest, take a look at the gallery below, and be sure to check out the festivities next summer!
