Sand Castles are craftable Structures in the Shipwrecked DLC. They are found under the Structures Tab, require 4 Sand, 2 Palm Leaves, and 3 Seashells and are always available to craft.

A Sand Castle increases Sanity when standing nearby, however it only lasts a single Day, so it is best to place it when the player will be near it for a significant period of time. When the day is over and the Sand Castle decays, it will drop 1 Sand, 1 Seashell and 1 Palm Leaf (This no longer is the case. When the day is over, the sandcastle disappears leaving nothing behind). It cannot be set on fire or destroyed with a Hammer, however it can be dug with a Shovel returning the same resources.

Sand Castles can only be placed on barren land without any Turfs, but once they have been deployed it is possible to place any turfs underneath them.

Using more than one Sand Castle is not recommended, as the overall sanity output is decreased if standing in between 2 of them, so it is only advised to pair a single castle with another sanity restoring object/item

Bugs

• The Sand Castle, despite being likely intended for placement only on sand, can also be placed upon a Snakeskin Rug.

  Willow standing next to a Sand Castle while holding a Machete and wearing a Backpack. It is day 3, and she is looking for gold. Sadly, she died a few days later due to being underprepared for a Crocodog attack. Perhaps she would have survived if she didn't stand next to a sandcastle for half a day; after all, her sanity was pretty high, and she could've restored it quicker by picking seashells and flowers. Hopefully, she learns from this mistake next time she plays Don't Starve: Shipwrecked and does not make it again.
