Using a mixture of fine white sand, sugar and water artists create the most amazing works of art. The beach at Outrigger Beach resort is turned into a 3-D art gallery for four days.

Every year about 20 masters and amateurs compete in the event and the results are stunning, the imagination and artistry involved in creating the models deserve honouree degrees to be awarded.

The village area has stands, for food, craft products, games, shopping and information on the local community
