It was a beautiful day when I went to visit the castle. The sky was a brilliant turquoise blue!! And who can resist building sandcastles on the beach on a such a wonderful sunny day? For sculptor, Ed Jarrett, he has taken sandcastle building to a whole new level!
The Sandy Castle was built by Ed, in Point Pleasant Beach, at the Jersey Shore. He was hoping to break a Guinness World Record -- on the beach in the middle of a shoreline that just had been decimated by Superstorm Sandy.
The Guinness record, which Jarrett previously set in 2011, was a sandcastle that stands
at 37-foot, 10-inch high. Sadly, This Sandy Castle did not beat his old record....but there are plans to try again!!!

| Close up of the Sandy Castle shows a laughing Gargoyle, and alligator, and a prince trying to save Rapunzel. One side of the castle depicts a Grimm fairy tale, complete with a two-headed dragon, one head fire-breathing, and Rapunzel in a tower with her prince to the rescue! The other side of the sandcastle is an ode to the Jersey Shore, with the tower becoming the Barnegat Lighthouse. |
