TURIN, Georgia. – Just search for “Barbie Beach” on Google and you’ll see what a viral phenomenon this Turin location has become. The woman who created this crazy southern metro landmark has died at the age of 76.

Fans have laid flowers to honor Lynda Quick, whose Barbie Beach on State Road 16 in Coweta County has achieved worldwide fame.

It shows dozens of naked Barbies and other dolls posed in specific motifs on a sandy beach.

Now, says Quick’s family, everyone wants to know what will happen to the beach.

Filmmaker Courtney Dixon immortalized the story of Quick and her husband Steve in a documentary that has been shown around the world.

“I was just blown away by the creativity and the depth of the stories behind some of the things they’ve built into the beach. Maybe only they know it, but what an impression it makes when you drive past it,” Dixon said.

She agreed that her creativity was often fueled by a considerable amount of beer.

Her son Ben led FOX 5 Atlanta through Lynda’s final exhibition.

“The last thing Mom said was the construction on the roundabout,” he said. “So all the Barbies are waiting for the construction to be finished. And a few of them are in Mort’s Bar and they’re just saying, ‘Whatever, we’re going to have a drink.'”

“One of my favorite stories in the film is the one they tell about Mort, and the level of detail with which they tell it can only come from being excited,” Dixon said.

Jason Turner is Lynda’s nephew.

“I say to everyone: ‘Have you heard of Barbie Beach?’ And they say: ‘Yes, yes.’ And I say: ‘That’s Turin. That’s my crazy aunt and uncle with Barbie Beach.'”

Barbie Beach began in 2006 when Lynda accused the Georgia Department of Transportation of destroying rose bushes she had planted along State Road 16 in front of her home.

Her family says she picked up sand and six naked Barbie dolls from Goodwill and protested the Department of Transportation on the side of the road, as well as celebrating the U.S. women’s beach volleyball team’s gold medal win in Turin, Italy.

“If Mom wasn’t happy with something, something happened. Usually there was retaliation,” Ben said. “There has to be retaliation somewhere.”

Her “protest” developed into changing scenes and themes in collaboration with her husband.

Barbie Beach thrived as traffic on State Road 16 increased due to new construction projects in Coweta County.

Now the Ministry of Transport is building a roundabout nearby with the condition that Barbie Beach not be disturbed.

Steve died last year and the family said Lynda no longer had the heart to continue with the beach after 18 years.

However, Courtney Dixon and the Quick family would tell you that Barbie Beach is not Lynda’s legacy.

She dedicated her life to supporting cancer patients and their families, as well as children with disabilities.

Ben says Barbie Beach can’t continue without his mom and dad. But the family wants to honor it, remember it and continue to share it.

FOX 5 Atlanta asked the family about their plans. They said they would announce it soon.
