*Please note that Sandsations weekend is chosen, by the team of volunteers who put on this award-winning event, based on the best tides for building.  Unfortunately, tide tables can’t account for storm surges or other acts of nature. Therefore, all times are approximate and subject to change. Check in at the Sandsations Trailer on the beach for details.
