The Sandcastle Man

Bill Pavlacka, The Sandcastle Man, is an award winning artist that creates three-dimensional sculptures out of sand. 

​

He was raised in New Jersey and made his way out to California in the early 1980's. He started a family with his wife, Lynne, in 1985.

 

While playing in the sand on the beaches of San Diego with his four children, Billy started to develop wonderful sand-sculpting skills. Over the years, he grew fond of long days of sculpting on the beach and continued building sandcastles well after his children were grown.  

​

The construction industry got hit hard during the recession and work became scarce for Billy. This event turned out to be a blessing in disguise. After months of hardship, he started building sandcastles on a daily basis and opened his own business. He now builds castles for weddings, engagements, parties, corporate events, and commercials. 

​

On most days, The Sandcastle Man can be found building one of his masterpieces in front of Hotel Del Coronado.
