Popular among visitors and locals alike, the 54th Annual Sandcastle Contest will take over this beach town on Saturday, June 9th with its party atmosphere. Make your lodging reservations early, as hotels typically sell out all rooms in advance. Day-trippers should plan on arriving early. The Sandcastle Contest is the only day of the year when the beach is used for parking to accommodate the large crowds, but cars must be off the beach by 6:30pm to avoid potential issues with the incoming tide.
