History
Founded in 2006, Sandland evolved from an annual sand festival into a permanent exhibition that draws international sculptors to shape tens of thousands of tons of sand on Antalya’s beaches.
Conservation
Sculpture areas are fragile—avoid touching works and stick to paths; the organizers and local authorities monitor coastal impact and restrict access to protect dune habitats.
