2006 New England Sand Sculpting Invitational on Revere Beach

 
2006 New England Sand Sculpting Invitational on Revere Beach
 
Revere Beach in Revere Massachusetts is America's first public beach.   At one time this beach was a carnival type atmosphere including all types of rides. There are many senior couples in the area that met their love at the Revere Beach dances.   Those are all gone, but there is a group still keeping her alive by scheduling a variety of beach activities, one being these wonderful sand sculptors competing each year for the $10,000 prize money.  These master sculptors come from all over the coutry and Canada.
 
This was a busy beach last week.  Besides the masters, there was a children and family competition plus one for  amateurs. 
 
The pictures above are not mine, but I thought you might like to see them anyway.

These sculptures are amazing, especially the very last one. I saw a sand sculpture competition a few years ago on a beach in Southern Spain. These pictures brought back some happy holiday memories,
