With a bit of free time, some creative flair, and a butt-load of sand, almost anything can be brought to life as a sandcastle. We all made sandcastles as kids, but the people who built these amazing sand sculptures have taken things to a whole new level.

Check out this collection of the most fantastic sandcastles ever constructed and feast your eyes on everything from Rapunzel to Darth Vader.
