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.

Chinese Moon Goddess – Taiwan

Instead of the man in the moon, Chinese folklore has it that the shadows of the moon create images of a rabbit and a lady named Chang’e. Legend has it that she swallowed too many immortality pills and became so light that she floated into the sky.
