Hundreds of children took to digging in the sand for prizes at Hannah's Bay yesterday.
Buried in the sand were ice block sticks with codes matching up to prizes for the annual The Hits Easter Beach Dig.
Each child got an easter egg and instant prizes and spot prizes were also given away.
The ultimate prize was an aquarium cabinet and accessories from Wonderworld Aquarium. The winner was to be announced today on The Hits with Paul Hickey.
Sian Twiddy took her children down to dig for some prizes.
"It was a good day, despite the rain. They both got chocolate prizes, one got a chocolate bar and an easter egg, they were pretty happy with that.
"It was just something to do, I saw it advertised and thought; yep, we will give that a go," she said.
