Sand Sculpture Competition
The annual Friends sand sculpture competition is on Saturday 6th August, to be precise, from 11am to 3pm, at the East Beach in Dunbar. It is at the east end of that beach, accessed from the bottom of the Golf House Road. There are prizes for the best John
Muir-themed sculpture (some years have seen castles, mermaids and sea creatures,
some found in the seas around Dunbar, some not) for just £2 for an adult, £1 for
a child and £5 for a family. Bring your imagination with your bucket and spade!
If you need more information, call the Birthplace on 01368 865899 and especially
if the weather isn’t so nice on the day. See you there!”
