The Yarmouth Sand Sculpture Trail, Memorial Day Through Mid-October
As a whole, the artists who call Cape Cod their home seem to us to be the most talented in the world and in the summer, a new breed of artists are ready to be celebrated, the sculptors who create masterpieces from nothing but water and sand and create a trail for us non-artists to follow and appreciate. Over 30 sculptures dot the Yarmouth landscape, with local businesses purchasing each one to be displayed outside their buildings, creating a trail of beauty that have become a favorite of families over the years.
Each year there is a different set of sculptures, always amazing us with the skills involved and past year’s have included sea turtles, sandcastles, suns, sharks, and so many more sculptures with names from the rest of the alphabet. There’s no tickets that need to be purchased, no closing or opening times, and really, no particular order in which you need to view the creations; the only requirement is that an excellent time is had by all!
Create Your Own Sand Sculpture in the “Backyards” of Our Cape Cod Escapes
Whether you are staying in Yarmouth or any of the other wonderful towns or villages on Cape Cod, choosing a beachfront retreat will ensure that you have all the time to practice your own sand sculpture creations. Spend a few hours following the trail (maps will be available at the Yarmouth Visitor Center in West Yarmouth starting in July) and then return home to try your luck at creating sculptures of your own.
And if you find that you don’t have any talent, we don’t think you will mind because the sunsets that set the sky on fire will be best viewed from your back patio, the sounds of the surf will play a tranquil soundtrack to your Cape Cod getaway, the sea breezes will cool your soul, while tangling your hair (and you won’t even care about the hair!) and every moment spent with your toes in the sand will bring you joy.
