Sand sculpting has come a long way since you were making moats and towers on the beach as a kid. From Batman to Albert Einstein and Hello Kitty, you won’t believe who (or what) we found hanging out surfside. Flip through the gallery to see the magic and get inspired for your next sandy adventure.

Nativity Scene – Valkenburg, Netherlands

Set in the middle of Christmas Town in the Netherlands, this is Europe’s largest Nativity scene. The atmosphere it carries from being inside rather than on the beach is extremely heart warming. This annual event runs from Nov.-Jan. Check out the other Christmas Town activities here.
