Blending artistry, imagination, and the timeless spirit of the sea, Scotty’s creation captured the wonder of a lost kingdom emerging from the tides. Accompanying the video is Scotty Dodson’s original song, "Down by the River"

For Scotty, these castles are more than sculptures — they are stories written in sand, music, and light, standing proudly for a brief moment before returning once again to the sea.

Rising from the warm Gulf sands of South Padre Island, this magical medieval sandcastle was sculpted by master sand artist and singer-songwriter Scotty Dodson on March 12, 2024
