Travel Channel's New 'Cake Boss of the Beach' Show 'Sand Masters' Premieres Tonight

OMG. It's June. Already. We haven't dug our beach towel and half-broken beach umbrella from back of the closet yet and temperatures are nearing 90 seemingly overnight. It's times like these when we really enjoy watching The Travel Channel as a kind of summer prep; it's armchair travel when we're sitting inside, enjoying the A/C. And don't they know it, since the Travel Channel has been introducing a whole slew of fun shows for their summer lineup.

In addition to Off Limits and Mancations comes Sand Masters, which looks to be the Cake Boss of the beach.

A video preview:

The show premieres tonight, June 1, at 10pm, but we know they're still working on filming the series. One of their episodes—the Fleet Week one mentioned below—just wrapped in Times Square. Regardless, their destinations are enticing enough to get us watching:

From a tribal new year in New Zealand to Fleet Week in Times Square, our sculptors are commissioned to make massive yet delicate sand sculptures for huge publicity stunts, local festivals and rich folks with money to burn. Whether it's the jungle-lined beaches of Costa Rica, the bustling back streets of Thailand, or the sky-high slopes of Aspen, these sand superstars are invited by clients like Ringling Bros & Barnum and Bailey Circus, The Royal Hawaiian Resort and Legoland to create ingenious art for important events in some of the world's most enticing locations.

Did they just promise us legos as sand art? We think they did...!
