A fresh new fleet of world class sand sculpting teams arrive in the Bay of Fundy in New Brunswick, to compete in the ultimate beach showdown.

The best sand sculpting teams in the world must battle the tide and each other, to build intergalactic inspired creations.

The eight remaining teams are forced to go sky high in an architecture challenge; sometimes the bigger they are, the harder they fall.

The seven remaining teams channel their wild sides as they create fierce sand animals that represent who they are as a team.

The remaining teams get emotional as they pay tribute to a person who has impacted their lives through anatomic sculpture.

Only five teams remain, and they must get in touch with their dark side as they create a scary sand sculpture to be revealed at night.

The top four teams are going back to basics with a pirate-themed soft pack challenge; they must impress the judges, or one team is going to walk the plank.

The remaining teams pay homage to Mother Nature in a challenge inspired by the four elements.

The top three teams must defy gravity if they want to make it to the final.

The top two teams go head-to-head in an all-out beach battle for all the glory and the grand prize of $10,000.
