South Padre Island sandcastle lessons - Which Lesson is Best for your group?

Grandma & Me - $80 (at access #16; $100 anywhere else)


Treat visiting grandchildren to a lesson designed just for them. Less rigorous and demanding than the basic lesson, this lesson is suitable for children as young as 2 or 3 years old -- I do all the hard work, you jump in if/when you feel like it, and every lesson ends with a pretty castle for your photo opportunity.


Kiddy Birthday Party - $120 & up

Especially designed for young children. Instructor spends half an hour making a customized "birthday cake" sand sculpture, then builds a castle around it that the party-goers can carve - making a lovely photo-op that everyone can claim they helped with.

We will be happy to meet you at any beach within the city limits of South Padre Island - or meet us at Beach Access #16 (Neptune Circle) for a $20 Discount!

For all ages

Learn the basics of getting sand to stand! You will build towers & walls -- create sea creatures, snowpeople and other simple objects. $50 (for up to 5 people) at City Beach Access #16 (Neptune Circle); $70 anywhere else.

The extended lesson is the most popular of sandy feet sandcastle lessons. More advanced skills and plenty of hands-on time means that we can get you well on the way to a fairly-impressive castle. We will either leave you with a finished piece worthy of multiple photos, or we will leave some tools behind so that you can finish it yourselves -- send me pictures!
