Sugar Sand Walk Exhibit
The Sugar Sand Festival is a 17 day beach wide celebration of Clearwater Beach’s two most notable natural assets: sugar sand and sunsets. More than 14 sand sculptors use 1,000 tons of Clearwater Beach sand to create a walk through art exhibit housed in a 21,000 square-foot structure. The Sugar Sand Walk Exhibit is 95% complete on opening day. We leave pockets of untouched sand open so that guests are able to see the sand being brought to life by our talented performance artists.

[acf_gallery_slider acf_field=”past_gallery”]The Sculptors don’t use molds! Everything is handcrafted using utility tools, baking tools, brushes, and even dentist tools. “Team Sandtastic” will be on site throughout the festival adding finishing touches to the exhibit, teaching free sand sculpting workshops, and performing speed sand demonstrations. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Each year the theme of the Sugar Sand Walk Exhibit changes, so you’ll never see the same sculpture twice!
Watch the Master Sand Sculpting Competition
The Master Sand Sculpting Competition takes place inside the Sugar Sand Walk Exhibit. Seven master sculptors will create their own artistic piece in addition to the main sculptures. This is a rare chance for visitors to watch the art of sand sculpting in action!
