Super fun and beautiful!
Emerson is an incredible person, teacher, and sand sculptor. Fast, clear and friendly communication with great flexibility for pur unique request. The tranquil, energizing, and educational experience left us with a beautiful sand castle to enjoy the rest of our stay and the skills to have fun crafting it throughout. Beautiful art we could view from our balcony and visit each day was extra special. Finding shells, driftwood, and more to decorate it with on our own afterwards was also fun. We are already planning to do this at the start of the next trip to both enjoy our creation with Emerson longer and get our minds in the right space for a great beach adventure from the start.

This is such a satisfying experience … to create a castle and have passers bye on the beach stop to marvel and take pics of our creation - so fun! It’s easy. Emerson is so patient and knowledgable - great teacher/leader.

Awesome experience
This is a unique, fun and memorable experience. Emerson is a talented, kind, patient and helpful teacher who was happy to guide us through the steps of building sandcastles on steroids. My 4 kids are ages 15, 13, 11 and 4 and all of them had a blast. I would highly recommend this experience if you are looking for something different and cool. Your sandcastles will never be the same!

Highly recommended!!
Emerson is a great teacher and skilled at building impressive sand castles with just a few basic tools. He provided our 13 year old granddaughter and us with a wonderful experience. I can only imagine what he could accomplish with a slightly larger group of older kids & early teens as well as (younger than us) adults!! Very highly recommended!!!

Thank you so much! Glad you had a good time :D
