An extravagant two-metre high sandcastle that took two brothers 10 hours to build is stopping beachgoers in their tracks at Mt Maunganui.
Jared and Paul Brandon used buckets, shovels, carving tools and even a builder’s level to sculpt the biggest sandcastle they’ve ever created.
The end result was a 2m castle complete with a moat and a spiral staircase leading to the top of the tower. The brothers even carved trees.
“Last year on Boxing Day we decided to do one and we made it and it was pretty cool. It was about one metre high but we were like okay, we have to do something better than that and also different,” said Jared.
“So we were like right, how high can we do it?”
