Yarmouth Sand Sculpture Trail
2025

Updated: June 25, 2025

Yarmouth Sand Sculpture Trail is back for 2025 with more than 30 giant sand creations on display at businesses and public spaces all over town.   

A self-guided tour of the Trail is a fun, free way to explore Yarmouth and see amazing sculptures like this up close.

The first sculpture on the 2025 Yarmouth Sand Sculpture Trail. It's magical!

About the Sculptors

Behind every sculpture is the dynamic duo that’s brought the trail to life for more than a decade.

Nationally renowned performance artist and sculptor, Sean Fitzpatrick, and his wife, Tracey, create every sculpture — from sketch to final carve.

When to See the Sculptures

Here’s when the sculpting happens, and when everything will be ready to see.

When Sculpting Starts

Sean and Tracey usually head to the Cape around the second week of May to start working on their first sculpture.

They work six days a week, from early morning to around noon-ish  (weather permitting), tackling one sculpture at a time.

There’s no posted schedule of where they'll be working on any given day. So spotting them in action is mostly a matter of being in the right place at the right time (a/k/a: "luck").

Sean works his magic!

Later that day ... the finished sculpture!

If you do see them at work, don't hesitate to stop by and say hello. Sean and Tracey are super-friendly and happy to chat with curious passers-by!

When the Full Trail is Ready

All 30+ sculptures are typically finished by the third week in June—sometimes a little bit later, depending on weather.

*Tip: Once the trail is complete, you’ll find the highest concentration of sculptures along Route 28. That's a great stretch to tour if your time is limited!

(My favorite from 2022!)

How Long the Sculptures Stay In Place

Unless they're accidentally damaged or intentionally vandalized (thankfully, that doesn't happen very often!), the sculptures stay in place until mid-October.

*Important: Each sand sculpture has an invisible protective coating that helps keep it intact. If that protective layer is broken, moisture seeps into the cracks. And that's the beginning of the end for the sculpture.

So please, please, please ... don't touch!

The “don't touch” rule applies to hawks and squirrels, too. They steer clear when this eagle’s on duty.
