sandcastle building
Shore bucket architecture
Sandcastle building is the activity of shaping wet sand into structures, typically castles with towers, walls, and moats.
It's a classic beach pastime, especially for children, though competitions attract serious sculptors who create elaborate works.
The impermanence is part of the appeal—tides wash everything away: We spent the afternoon sandcastle building before the water came in.
