sand castle
Bucket-built fortress
A sand castle is a small structure built from wet sand, typically on a beach, shaped by hand or with buckets and molds.
Building sand castles is a classic childhood activity, though adults compete in elaborate sand sculpture contests.
The term sometimes appears figuratively for something impressive but fragile or temporary: Their business empire proved to be a sand castle.
