American SandSculpting Championship & Beach Festival was held on Fort Myers Beach in Florida from November 2 through 6. The competition is always divided into two areas, amateurs and masters. The end result is a display of the very elaborate sand sculptures. Fort Myers Beach was a home to the 2011 World Championship of Sand Sculpting that brought in at least 60 international artists. “It’s the Super Bowl of sand sculpting.” Fort Myers Beach is known for world class sand.
The International Sand Sculpture Festival held annually in Pera, Portugal, is the largest sand sculpture event in the world.
