Summer is here, and that means millions of families are making their way to the beach. But if you’ve ever watched your carefully built sandcastle crumble before you could finish it, you’re not alone — and a professional sand sculptor has some advice that might help.
Dean Arscott, a professional sand sculptor, recently spoke with NPR’s Scott Simon to offer guidance on how everyday beachgoers can construct a truly impressive sandcastle. From technique to materials, Arscott brings years of hands-on experience to the conversation.
Whether you’re packing up the buckets and shovels for a family outing this holiday weekend or just looking to up your beach-building skills, Arscott’s tips are aimed at helping anyone create something worth showing off before the tide rolls in.
