Head on over to the Oregon Coast for the annual sand castle contest. This is a great summer activity for groups or immediate family members to participate in. You can either build your piece of art or watch as the magnificent pieces of art work take shape.
The Oregon Coast beaches are known for their contests and ability to attract fine sculptors. A typical contest begins with each individual or team given a piece of beach area. They can build their structure with only the sand within their designated perimeter.
There is more than one contest to participate in along the Oregon Coast beaches. In fact, there are three renowned contests!
Cannon Beach Annual Contest, 503-436-2623, June 17, 2006
Lincoln City Annual Sandcastle Building Contest, 800-452-2151, August 5, 2006
Port Orford Jubilee and Sand Castle Building Contest, July 4, 2006
If you should participate in a sand castle contest, take a picture and submit it to us.

Just wanted to add my advice to anyone who has never been...Definitely take the family to the coast and visit a little coastal town for the 4th of July holiday. I grew up in Port Orford and not only is the Sand Castle contest fun, there is a pancake breakfast, small town parade, salmon feed at the gradeschool, and fireworks at dusk on the hillside looking out over the beautiful Pacific ocean. It is all so beautiful. I am now taking my kids down there every year to visit the grandparents and take in the small town charm of the 4th of July celebration.
