Florida: The Perfect Climate for BeachSandSculptures.com
BeachSandSculptures.com embrace Orange Ties and Sand Sculptures
Florida has just begun a new campaign to attract business to the Sunshine State. “The branding campaign will feature orange-colored neckties, strategically-placed sand-sculptures and the slogan: “Florida: The perfect climate for business” reports The Buzz from the staff of the Tampa Bay Times.

BeachSandSculptures.com found GOLD in Florida: The perfect business climate
Florida: The perfect climate for business is exactly what Rick and Capri Mungeam of Beach Sand Sculptures discovered first hand over the last couple of years. Their business, BeachSandSculptures.com is a professional sand sculpting company based on The Emerald Coast of Florida. “We could have launched our business on any coast, but we chose Florida for a number of reasons” stated Mungeam, as a matter of fact.
A business is very much like a sand sculpture. Initially you have to choose where you are planning to build. A marketing sand sculpture would not be created on a remote beach; exposure is critical for success. Beach Sand Sculptures has discovered year round activities in Florida, making it the perfect location to build just about any business. The next important consideration when creating a business or sand sculpture is the foundation. It is an established fact that a strong foundation can make all the difference in the overall outcome of every endeavor. The Florida economy is the 21st largest economy in the world, that’s a great foundation on which to build a business. What sets apart Beach Sand Sculptures from the average sandcastle builder on the beach is their ability and capacity to create a sculpture that will stand taller than the rest. Businesses need room for growth and expansion. Florida’s residence and Florida’s tourism are two built in providers of growth for the businesses that make Florida their home. Heaven is in the details. When the unnecessary sand has been cast away it is the intricately carved details of the masterpiece beneath that cause people to say, “WOW!” The collective details of emerald green water, family friendly environment, warm climate, friendly locals and tourists alike, and the beautiful sugar white sand beaches create the enchantment of Florida’s Emerald Coast. It was this magic of combined details that caused the Mungeams to say, “WOW!” this is the place to start our business. Whether you are building sand sculptures or looking for a place to start, grow or move your business; Florida is the perfect climate!
This talented couple has literally carved out a niche for themselves by teaching sandcastle lessons to creating impressive corporate sand sculptures. Beach Sand Sculptures professional sand sculpting services include marriage proposals, weddings sand sculptures, corporate team building events, corporate logos, demonstrations and performance art, tabletops sand sculptures for the home or office, on the beach or bring the beach to you, say it in sand – hear the results.

Facebook Milestone for Beach Sand Sculptures
- We <3 Our Fans
1000 “Like”s
by Anne Bennett
Santa Rosa Beach, Florida The hand gesture, “thumbs up” has been a symbol for acceptance and approval for long time. Siskle and Ebert, as movie critics, used the thumbs up signal to inform the American population whether a movie was worth their time and money to view. Likewise Facebook has used their version of this iconic hand symbol with great success, creating an entire generation who “like it on Facebook”.
The pix of their elaborately detailed sand sculptures are what drive their fans to “Like”. People love sand sculptures. A picture of the 7ft tall “Illumination Castle” received 1,300 “Like”s in just 48 hours and a Christmas sand sculpture hit 500%+ virility – those numbers are HUGE in the social media stats. Capri is fond of saying, “Sand sculptures intrigue the mind, capture the soul, and delight the heart,” and it’s so true, there is something magical about sand sculptures.
Being creative in the sand is not enough; to be competitive BeachSandSculptures invests time, money, and energy being innovative in their social networks. Quickly it became obvious the BeachSandSculptures.com Facebook Fan Page would hit the 1.0K milestone within the first 6 months of its launch and as the 1000th “Like” approached, Rick and Capri knew they wanted to reward their fans for making the social media benchmark possible. So being the sculptors that they are, they created . . . a sand sculpture, took a picture and posted it on Facebook. It’s been said, “A picture is worth a thousand words” and so with one picture of a sand sculpture created exclusively for their first 1000 fans, Beach Sand Sculptures said, “Thank You” a thousand times.

Richard G. Mungeam
Lead Sand Sculptor and Instructor
by Anne Bennett
In a former life Rick Mungeam was renowned residential architect traveling extensively designing custom resort homes showcased in several architectural publications. But the economic changes of 2008 resulted in Rick and his wife, Capri, selling their home in Colorado to begin traveling.
South Padre Island, Tx, late 2010, under the tutelage of Andy Hancock, Master Sand Sculptor, Rick learned the basics of sand sculpting. By mid 2011 Rick was honing his sand sculpting skills on The Emerald Coast of The Florida Panhandle, near Destin, along Scenic Hwy 30A, when his sandcastle with a romantic heart was used for a wedding, and later for several family portraits, Rick realized his talent might develop into a business.
Nov. 2011, Rick won the Pro-Am Division of The World Championship of Sand Sculpting to further exhort his talents. 2012 watched BeachSandSculptures.com became the reigning Sand Sculpting Champions and a visible and known presence along Florida’s Emerald Coast.
Their boys are grown now, but through home schooling their two sons Rick and Capri learned creative teaching skills that Rick now utilizes as he offers design services in the form of sand sculpting creations. From 30A and Santa Rosa Beach business advertisements in sand to corporate team building at WaterColor or Seaside, a private party on the Dune Allen Beach to corporate events at the ritzy Sandestin resorts, Alys Beach wedding proposal or a Rosemary Beach wedding sculptures, and inspirational sand castle on Grayton Beach or sculpting lessons at Topsail State Park, Beach Sand Sculptures can create a sculpture to meet your needs and exceed your wildest imagination.
Capri Mungeam
AKA Aqua Woman, Sand Sculpting Apprentice, Marketing
They say, “Behind every successful man their is a successful woman”, this is often said to emphasize that a man’s success often depends on the work and support of his wife. That may or may not be the case with The Mungeams, but one thing is for certain, they’ve been a successful business team for nearly 30 year now.
Initially sand sculpting was definitely Rick’s forte, Capri talk with the people on the beach, handed out business cards and promoted Rick’s Sandcastle Lessons. But over the last couple of years she has watched carefully and slowly absorbed many of the finer details of sand carving. She still feel like she has much to learn, but the alligator she sculpted on the Topsail Hill State Park Sand Sculpture caught the eye of many a “Gators” fans as one said, “that’s a good lookin’ gator”.
The design development is Rick’s department. “Rick is really the artist”, Capri is fond of saying, “but I come up with a lot of ideas and sometimes their pretty good”, she said with a smile. Typically when they begin a project Rick shovels and Capri hauls the water from the nearest water source – usually The Gulf of Mexico. They methodically work together to build their sculpture foundation and fill the forms. The couple has worked out their individual roles while they create a sand sculpture in order not to “step on each others toes” if you will.
The other major role that Capri takes is the “behind the sands” marketing. “I’m getting my marketing degree through Social Media. There is much to learn”, . With the ever changing advertising/marketing innovations and technology The Mungeams realize, that today, if you aren’t communicating with your the world via Social Media you are frankly “dead in the sand”. When BeachSandSculptures.com on Facebook received it’s 1000th “Like” in less than 6 months, Capri knew they were onto something very unique. They’ve even incorporated offering media and social media services to help clients to gain the maximum PR out of their Beach Sand Sculptures.
