What is the best thing you have made at the beach?

Have you made a particularly impressive sand sculpture at the beach?

The sun is shining, and the weather is warming up.

For some people that might mean dreaming of ice creams, playing outside or maybe a trip to the beach to make some sand castles.

One man who knows all about that is Mark Lewis who has taken his hobby of sand sculpture to a new level.

Recently he made a giant pair of crocs out of sand for a competition in Dorset.

Inspired by Mark we want to know what the best thing YOU have made at the beach is.

Maybe it's a castle fit for a king or queen, a mermaid's tail made of sand, or something a bit different. Let us know in the comments below...

Mark Lewis carved a giant pair of crocs in the sand on Weymouth Beach

Mark Lewis is one of many people who love making sand art, and his impressive sculpture of a giant pair of crocs has recently caught the eye of the public.

Mark, who is a part-time church minister, creates intricate sand sculptures which take around seven hours to make.

He says his passion for sand art came from building sandcastles with his sons when they were younger.

Since then he has created many incredible pieces including dragons, mermaid tails, Spongebob Squarepants, and a giant ice cream cone.

Mark said he practised in a sandpit in his garden

For Mark the hobby is not only something he loves to do, but also something that he hopes will bring happiness to others.

He said: "If I can put a little bit of joy into the world or put a smile on somebody's face, then it feels like a good thing to do."
