The ~~mountains~~ beaches never judged my code. The ocean doesn’t either.

I still mourn the death of the <marquee> tag.

From mountains
to beaches.

After eight years in Virginia, we hit undo and traded mountains for beaches. We are back in Florida as of 2026.

More about me

Leave a little castle.

Pick a piece, then tap the sand.

A little head start. Choose a tool and make it yours.

Your patch of beach.

4 pieces on the beach

Tap to build. Flip a bucket for a molded castle, stack a second bucket on it, and put a tower on top of that. Dig moats next to each other, straight or diagonal, and they join into lines, Vs, corners, and rings. Finish with a flag or a shell on top. Tap a wall again to turn it. With a keyboard: arrow keys move the marker, Enter places a piece, and Delete removes the top piece.
