Sandcastle Lessons

My sister planned her beach wedding in SPI and we were looking for something fun to do with the nieces during downtime. We found Andy via the city website and contacted him immediately. He accommodated us within 48 hours of our request.
We had THE BEST TIME! Andy was super knowledgable and gave us some great facts about sand castles. It was very educational and the kids loved it! We have a hard time finding something to entertain 4 year old twins, but they were engaged the entire time! Even my dad had a great time — and that’s hard to accomplish!
Andy was great with the kids and had some really funny one-​liners for the adults.
At the end of the lesson, we received a bag with a bunch of tools so we could continue our sand castle making adventures for the future. He even offered to let us borrow some of the buckets to make sand castles during the week if we wanted!
My fiancé and I haven’t been able to stop talking about how much fun we had and how much we took away from the experience. I just had to write a review. We HIGHLY recommend this for ANYONE — no matter what the age! We had a blast and will bring our own family here one day!
Thanks Andy!

Had a blast! Andy is fantastic, friendly, engaging and generous. Entertained and kept both adults and children engaged. Learned a lot and had a great time. Highly recommend it and his lessons!

I highly recommend this is you have kids. Everything you do to build a sandcastle is WRONG! He was entertaining, good with kids, really fun! Also had a lot of educational facts for us! Andy is funny… do this your first day here so you can practice building the rest of your vacation, you each go home with a kit!

Ran into Andy outside the Isla Grand. He was cleaning up after a lesson, but he took time to let me and my aunt play with the castles. He answered our endless questions and gave us lots of tools to try out. We’d definitely have taken a full lesson if we’d had more time! Everyone leaving was very pleased!

Andy was fantastic! We had a family of 6 and there was plenty of room under his canopy, a good thing as it was hot and very sunny! There are some other folks offering lessons, but Andy has it so well organized and thought out, I would not go anywhere else! A very short walk from parking and to bathrooms and drinks, very convenient. My girls learned how to build a fish, a castle, a beach ball, an observatory, heck Andy went with the flow and taught us all how to build anything we wanted!
We will be back!

Texted Andy for a session and he accommodated our request in a timely manner. Great hands on setup for the whole family to get an introduction to sand castle creation.

Had a blast here — building sand castles was way more funny than my kids, 21 and 18 thought it would be. Andy is a great personality that puts everyone at ease. Recommend the two hour lesson — you can really make cool things. All four of us loved it and the time went by quickly. Wound up very happy it was under a tent in 95 degree weather down here.
