On July 2, 2008 at 7:11 a.m., we found the sandcastle in the picture a little above the high tide line. Tools for making the castle we scattered around it. A deep mote on the front side protected the castle from the sea.
In order to protect nesting sea turtles, such as Loggerhead turtles, Dewees Island asks that all sandcastles be knocked over at the end of the day. The turtles come ashore at night to lay their eggs.
Plastic Sandcastle tools scattered on the beach in the morning
