Perhaps we should have a general article on sand art or sand play and move this article there. There's no need to focus purely on "castles", I reckon. On the other hand, I think playing with sand is a silly title - sorry Patrick! :) Martin 23:47, 24 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Perhaps Sand art and play? - Patrick 08:23, 25 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Yep, that'd work :) Martin

[edit] Image improvement

The first image has the towers cut off. Someone want to rebuild it and get some larger pictures? (SEWilco 09:27, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC))

[edit] Burying people

What about burying people? That has to be my most memorable memory (huh?) of the beach. Almost every time my family goes to the beach, I end up getting buried.

I added that, please add more, if you like.--Patrick 02:45, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Picture

It may or may not be my web browser... but is the image on the left obscuring the text? I am unsure of how to fix this.

yes it obscures the text in my browser too Joey Eads 06:03, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] World's tallest Contradicts itself

In the first paragraph of the article, it says: "The world's tallest sandcastle was built on Myrtle Beach in South Carolina as part of the 2007 Sun Fun Festival. The structure was 49.55 feet high." but then later in the "World's Tallest Sandcastle" section it says "...a 29.5 foot sandcastle in Falmouth, Maine. Expected to be completed late summer of 2007 is a sandcastle that, if all goes well, will be the new record for world's tallest sandcastle." These two statements contradict one another and they can't both be true. Either an error needs to be corrected, or some additional clarification needs to be made. 71.195.221.204 04:45, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
