80 days left until the White Rock Sandcastle Competition

Team sign up forms can be found under the category of sign up on the right hand side banner.

This family focused event is free for public viewing. 

Sand, sea, islands, and the most beautiful sunsets to “smooch with your sweetie” in!

Watching the sunrise behind Mount Baker is inspirational, especially when you see bald eagles majestically soaring over the trees as you stroll along the shoreline promenade.  Truly a daily treasure of mine!

Come on out to White Rock BC,  August 1-4, for the 59th Annual Spirit of the Sea Festival.  Have fun, relax, stroll around, take in all the amazing family focused activities offered during the festival.  Enjoy a leisure dinner after the sandcastle competition on August 3,  and then gather the family together for the wonderful Torchlight parade at dusk!!  A perfect end to a perfect day.

We’re 80 days away from Sandcastle…. we suggest you start hinting to your friends who live in White Rock or South Surrey, that you’ll be popping by their house, during the August long weekend!

Sandcastle’s back, and this is going to be one of the most spectacular Spirit of the Sea Festivals in decades! 

White Rock is an ocean side community with VERY VERY VERY limited parking.  We highly recommend planning ahead and leaving the car at home. The sandcastle event team strongly supports alternative modes of transportation - walk, bike, take public transit, leave the car in your friends driveway, spend the weekend with your friends or family, and walk down to the beach - the views are worth it!

wanna practice building a sandcastle on July 1st, before the REAL Event August 3rd!

we’re always willing to help someone out…in our own cheeky little way

 The City of Surrey is looking for a sandcastle building artist to create a sulpture for Surrey Canada Day Celebration on Tuesday, July 1st.  Over 100,000 people will be attending this year’s event.  We will be trucking in tons of sand and you will have your own designated area within the ‘Beach Zone’.  Honorariums will be given to the successful artist (teams welcome).  If you are interested in showcasing your talents at our event, please email btasaka@surrey.ca.  Thanks!  Bryan Tasaka, Special Events Coordinator

 ”there ya go Bryan we helped Surrey out…how about a reciprocal do up! 

 White Rocks Sandcastle Competition on August 3rd will be way better that the Surrey’s Canada Day Celebration because we have the best sandcastle building  beach sand anywhere in North America…… we don’t truck it in…..hmmmmm…….  should we have a friendly little wager……whadda say Bryan?  I dare you! Are you willing to put Surrey up against White Rock? In a friendly challenge?  We’re just a bunch of residents who are creating the White Rock Sandcastle Competition, so we dont have the political backing to do one of those looser flies the winner city flag things, but we believe 100% in the residents and business of White Rock!

Warning: we are a very creative bunch, I’m sure we could come up with something! Game on!

another new friend

Hello and welcome!

We are incredibly honored and privileged to welcome back, the ” Sand Sippers”. 

Michelle Herlihy, Partner and National Distribution Manager with Fairway Media Sales, was the original captain of the “Sand Sippers” at the last sandcastle competition in White Rock, in 1987.

Somehow, Michelle found out about our understated community effort to revive the dream, and contacted the original team members, and now they are planning a reunion of the original team members for this very special sandcastle competition.  

To all the team members of the Sand Sippers,  from all of us at the 2008 White Rock Sandcastle Competition, thank-you for sharing the same dream, and helping us make the dream come true… a BIG FUN, HAPPY DAY at the beach for everyone, building sandcastles and new friendships on the magnificent shores of White Rock, BC.
