Sand sculpting has come a long way since you were making moats and towers on the beach as a kid. From Batman to Albert Einstein and Hello Kitty, you won’t believe who (or what) we found hanging out surfside. Flip through the gallery to see the magic and get inspired for your next sandy adventure.

Hello Kitty – Algarve, Portugal

The lovable Japanese kitty has found her way to Portugal! While the design is simplistic compared by comparison, the smoothness of the sand is incredible. We imagine the artist spent hours sanding down that surface.
