A giant sand sculpture created by a group of award-winning sand artists called Sand in Your Eyes has appeared on Downhill Strand. It is part of Tourism Ireland’s latest promotion to shine a spotlight on the North around the world ahead of the 148th Open at Royal Portrush. A group of talented sand artists created the sculpture in the sand at Downhill.
It depicted five local icons drawn into the coastline: Titanic Belfast, the city walls and the guildhall in Derry, the Dark Hedges, Rory McIlroy swinging a golf club and the direwolf sigil of House Stark from Game of Thrones. The temporary sculpture was created in low tide which allowed the most amount of time for the sand artists to create the sculpture.
