Rise of the Driftwood Dragon

In 2016, a massive driftwood Dragon rose at the channel's edge, serving as the unofficial guardian of Patricia Beach. For three years, it stood watch over Rainbow's End.

The Fall

End of an Era

The Dragon's reign ended in the winter of 2018 when it was harvested for firewood during a severe storm—a tragic end that sparked a new era of beach culture.

The Great Protest

Rise of the Stick Beings

In 2019, in response to the Dragon's fall, the community witnessed the Rise of the Stick Beings. Dozens of tall driftwood sculptures rose from the sand in silent protest, turning the beach into a living gallery of resilience.
