Ocean City Sand Castles · Ocean City, Maryland

How do drip-castle towers work on Ocean City sand?

Answer

Mix very wet sand in the bucket, drizzle from a fist-height squeeze to stack organic towers—Delmarva quartz sand grains vary by storm, so test consistency before a contest. Shade the base so afternoon sun does not dry-collapse your spires.
