For the last 21 years, SandCity Sand Sculpture Park in the Algarve has delighted people of all ages. 120 sculptures are on 5 hectares of outdoor exhibition space amid 55 thousand tons of sand! 60 national and international artists shaped and carved the sand into whimsical and amazing celebrities, places and scenes. SandCity is located on the EN125 between the Lagoa and Porches roundabouts.
Sand City encourages you to travel “Around the World in Sand!” Guests will visit global continents to delight and learn about traditions, nature, history, art, culture, gastronomy, cinema, sports and music, of the various countries and regions.
In the past guests marveled at Cristiano Ronaldo next to Fernando Pessoa and the Belém Tower, Pope Francis riding a Vespa, Gulliver’s travels, the Eiffel Tower, Queen Elizabeth II having tea next to Big Ben, Belgian friars producing beer or the African Serengeti.
Something unique to consider….no doubt during the day, the Algarve sun allows for a clear view of the meticulous detail of the sand sculptures. However, visiting again at night during the summer…Sand City’s array of indirect lighting makes for a mesmerizing and fantasy-like experience.
