Fun in the sun

Published on Jan, 2025

Great teacher. We had a ton of fun and learned a lot. Three kids 16, 14, and 6 all had a great time. My wife and I enjoyed it more than the kids!

Sandy Feet was AWESOME!

Published on Jan, 2025

I highly recommend Sandy Feet for any age group! She made it sooo much fun. Our family ranged from 9 to 73. She worked well with each age. We learned more about creating sand structures than I ever expected. Every step she showed us, she had us perform it so we had actual hands on to create our own castle. We will use these tips and tricks going forward. The grandkids had so much fun we spent the entire day at the beach. Our instructor was patient and knowledgeable. I will definitely do this again with our visitors to SPI.

Nice Family activity .

This was one of those experiences you may be on the fence about, but let me reassure you, do it! Jose was great and patient with my 11 y/o, his friend, and our 13 y/o. There's a sense of satisfaction that comes from building something yourself.. The class was well organized, and the time flew by. With creativity and the foundation skills we learned, the possibilities are endless.

A must-do experience on the beach!

My family LOVED the sandcastle building lesson! Lucinda has a wealth of knowledge and experience; in addition to being a wonderful teacher! We took the 1.5 hr lesson and learned so much! We amazed ourselves with what we could do after just one lesson! We would highly recommend this experience while on SPI!

Family fun: from 9 to 69 years old!

Published on Jul, 2024

We booked after my 16 year old came across an advert on social media and did not regret it! The tools were all provided, our teacher was fabulous and so patient. - every one of us thoroughly enjoyed the hour we spent sculpting and we were all proud of the fruits of our labour! The kids asked if we can go and buy supplies to take to the beach tomorrow and have a go for ourselves! Highly recommend this activity!
