Sand Castle Days, Chula Vista

Perhaps the most amazing sandcastle competition in the world is held each year in San Diego and is known as the U.S Open Sandcastle Competetion. Fantastic artistic creations rise from piles of sand. Within a few short hours, mythological animals, sea creatures and seascapes appear as if by magic. Teams from across the country converge on this beach to create their masterpieces in sand. Family activities are planned for Saturday, including a parade and a kiddie sand castle competition. Come Sunday morning, avid builders are hard at work preparing for the judging later in the day. The event is free and fun for folks of all ages.
