About The Sand Store

For some, sand is simply the grainy stuff that gets caught between your toes at the beach. For us at The Sand Store, it is a wonderful art form that captures the beauty of the coast and allows you to take a little piece of paradise home with you.

We are coastal artisans, sharing the beauty of the beach with the world. Everything we sell was made by hand in our South Florida shop with the same care and quality we’d put into gifts for our own friends and family.

Unlike mass-produced beach trinkets that don’t last long past your vacation, our sand products are one-of-a-kind keepsakes representing your treasured memories for years to come.

From fun sand art designs for rowdy Jimmy Buffett beach parties, to mementos for annual family vacations, we’ve created something for everybody.

All of our products are made by hand in Cape Coral, Florida where we’re active members of the local art community as managing members and directors of the Harbour View Gallery at Cape Harbour Marina.

Handcrafted since 2011

FAQ


How are your products made?
Sand is mixed with a commercial glue and pressed into a custom rubber mold.

How durable are your products? Do they dissolve in water?
Our sand art is as hard as ceramic and guaranteed to last for years.

Do you use beach sand?
No, as environmentally-conscious coastal residents, we source our sand from a local South Florida quarry that also supplies sand for beach renourishment.

Do you make custom items?
While we’re always willing to discuss your custom sand craft design idea, all of our products are made from original molds. Making a new mold is a time-intensive process and is only practical if a large quantity of each item is ordered. However, we can easily customize your wedding or wholesale sand craft order with a large choice of ribbon colors and printed tags for your custom design, information, message or logo.

How do I order?
Sand art orders can be placed online, by email or by phone.
