2009 Fort Myers Beach 23rd Annual Sand Sculpting Contest - Day 5

The 2009 Fort Myers Beach Sand Sculpting Championships are in high gear with 16 National and World Champions working feverishly to meet the deadline for completion and judging. Crowds drove, cycled, walked, bused and trollied to the Holiday Inn on Fort Myers Beach to see the carvers up close.

Carvers use different things for inspiration and some of the entries reflect an eclectic flair.
