Hout Bay Sandcastle Competition

Bring your buckets, spades and team spirit to Hout Bay Beach


South Africa’s favourite sandcastle competition is celebrating its 13th year with an event promises to be the biggest and best that South Africa has seen.

This action-packed morning will be full of entertainment for the whole family! Enjoy sandcastle sculpting, pony rides, jumping castles, face painting, balloon artists, magicians, DJs and tasty eats to name a few!

Registration opens at 8.00 am at the Chapman’s Peak side of Hout Bay Beach and sandcastle building starts at 9am. With great team categories such as Family, Corporate, Inter School and Estate Agents the competition will be fair and fierce in the race to win some amazing prizes!
