Virginia Beach Neptune Festival Sand Castle Toppled from World Record...But for How Long?

The Virginia Beach Neptune Festival is more than just great bands, food, over 275 crafts booths, and entertainment, including the Grand Parade...it's the site of a fierce competition...

The World's Tallest Sandcastle at the 2006 Virginia Beach Neptune Festival.


In the onging "sand castle wars" between Myrtle Beach, SC and Virginia Beach, Myrtle Beach has temporarily come out on top. Myrtle Beach announced this week that it has built the tallest sand castle in the world.

Thanks to 300 trucks full of sand, Myrtle Beach's new sand castle, measured at 49.55 feet, topped a record by Virginia Beach, set last year when they erected a 37.9 foot sand castle at the 2006 Neptune Festival.

No doubt VA Beach is already making plans for wresting the title back from Myrtle Beach during this year's Neptune Festival coming up in September. Stay tuned for more as the battle goes on...

Note: The 2007 Festival will be held September 29-October 1. The last day of the festival you'll be able to tour all the sand castle sculptures to see which ones earned prizes...and maybe make a sand castle or two of your own. Stay tuned for more details...
