Wet sand is the key to decent sandcastles. Once you understand this, building them is so much easier. The grimmest, dog muck covered beaches provide the material to build the palaces of your dreams. One with multiple tiers, and actual moats. Work hard enough, and you can dig out individual space. I managed a ballroom once.

The answer lay around me. Quite literally. There is nearby cove, where people often sunbathe alone.
You still have to be quick.

Wet sand is the key to decent sandcastles. Just do not assume this means seawater is involved.
