Annual Sandsations

The Long Beach Peninsula turns its famous sand into art at Sandsations, a spectacular sand-sculpting event in Ocean Park. Watch master carvers and enthusiastic amateurs alike shape astonishing creations along the wide Washington coast beaches, and try your own hand in the sand.

It's a family favorite that celebrates creativity, community, and the endless beach that defines this peninsula. Marvel at the intricate castles and creatures before the tide reclaims them, then explore the peninsula's kites, clam digging, and cranberry country for a full coastal weekend.
