Sand Sculpting Classes at St. Augustine Beach

July 26, 2009 by Susanne Talentino

All of us can play in the sand, it comes natural to most people – even adults, but sand sculpting is a different story. If you have visited some of the “big” sand sculpture contests on the coast, you might wonder how to create beautiful sculptures like that. No matter how hard you try, or how much you sweat, your towers and walls just seem to crumble and get swept away by the sea, and sculptures made of sand, isn’t that just for pros?

The Dirty Secret of Sand Sculpting
sandcastle2It doesn’t matter if you never set foot in art class or ever would consider picking up a crayon and sketch – now you can participate in a hands-on, down and dirty, sand sculpting workshop teaching you all the tips and trick you need to become an expert at building sand castles.

The talented sand sculpting instructor will share his sand sculpting secrets and tool tips with his apprentice sand sculptors. As you know, the easiest way to learn a new skill is by doing, and the best thing is – these classes are free and open to everyone. This class is fun for the whole family.

The Bech Birthday Contest
You can simply see it as a great way to get your team ready for the City of St. Augustine Beach’s 50th Birthday sand sculpting contest on November 7, or if you’re not competitive, just a way for the family to have fun together on the beach.

Sea Turtle Walks at Edisto Beach

July 26, 2009 by Susanne Talentino

Edisto Park is located in one of the most beautiful areas on the South Carolina coast. If you’re in the Charleston area – you should try to drive out for a visit.

edisto-seaturtle7You probably already know that the loggerhead turtle is an endangered sea turtle that comes to our beaches in South Carolina, Georgia and Florida to lay eggs. Many parks on the coast have special educational programs about the fascinating sea turtle. At Edisto Park you can learn all about these fascinating animals.

After a short program, the group will go down the beach in search of a nesting loggerhead sea turtle. Kids need to be 10 or older to participate, and you will of course have to be prepared to walk, so wear you’re best walking shoes.
There’s no guarantee that you will actually see sea turtles – or hatchlings, you might see tracks, and who knows? You might be one of the lucky ones who get to see a loggerhead sea turtle returning to the ocean after laying her eggs.
The loggerhead sea turtle is the South Carolina state reptile and is the most commonly observed sea turtle off the South Carolina coast.
In any case, nesting season lasts from May – August. Usually hatchlings emerge at night and head for the ocean.

Edisto park also has a campground, hiking trails, picnic areas and a playground. So why not bring the whole gang, a picnic basket, blankets and make a day of it. There is a lot to discover in this area.

The Edisto Interpretive Center helps promote the wise use of coastal resources. An exhibit features interactive displays, including a touch tank, and explains the fragile resources of the ACE Basin reserve, the largest such natural reserve on the East Coast.

The Sea Turtle Walks take place every week in July on Tuesday and Thursday at 9:00 PM – till whenever. Tickets are $10. Please call (843) 869-4430 to make reservations for the Sea Turtle Walk. Spots go fast, so call now.
