Choose a spot that won't get washed away. You could happily spend an afternoon building a city on the beach. If the tide is on its way in, sit down near the tide line, the wet sand farthest from the water.Dig a well for easy water access (optional). Sand castles have just two ingredients: sand and water. For easy access to the second, dig a hole within arm's reach of where you want to build. Dig straight down until water pools at the bottom of the hole.[1] X Research source You can skip this step if the sand is wet enough to mold on its own.Scoop up clean sand. Drop a handful of sand in a bucket of clear water. If the liquid looks murky or dirty, the sand has too much clay. It's much easier to build with fine, clean sand that leaves the water clear. The best sand for building is so fine it feels like a powder, and has grains with many rough edges.[2] X Research source Most beach sand is too smooth to build truly giant sculptures ...Mix in a little water. Surprisingly, the strongest mix you can make is only 1% water and 99% sand. This is just enough water to cling to the grains of sand, forming "bridges" between the grains of sand to lock them together.[3] X Trustworthy Source Nature Respected Multidisciplinary Scientific Journal Go to source But you don't have to get out the eyedropper — for a day at the beach, just ...Squeeze the sand as hard as you can. The more you compress the sand, the stronger it is. The best tools for the job are your bare hands. Trying to tamp the sand down with a shovel creates more cracks or loose spots where your castle could fall apart. Professional sand sculptors compact their sand in wooden frames, with no top or bottom.[5] X Research source A bucket doesn't work for this ...You can build even larger sand castles underwater! You'll need "hydrophobic sand" or "Magic Sand," which you can buy online.[13] X Trustworthy Source Nature Respected Multidisciplinary Scientific Journal Go to source Thanks Helpful 0 Not Helpful 0- 83.9K
