"So once you've selected your location on the beach, next you want to pick out your area that you're actually going to build your sandcastle in. The most ideal place is to find a flat, level part of the sand. You can use a shovel to dig down to build yourself a nice foundation, or you can also bring in some buckets of water. And typically what we would do, is pour some of the water. It will actually create a flat area and it will help out because it also packs the sand down at the same time. And I, typically, would give yourself a five or six foot area, depending on the size of the sandcastle you're going to build. Today, we going to build one, I gave myself about five feet by five feet in area here to work with."
