Exploring California's Salton Sea Communities
BOMBAY BEACH, CA - MAY 9: This former bustling beach community (Pop. 231) on the eastern shore of the Salton Sea has reinvented itself as an electic art colony comprised of burned out trailers and mobile homes, and in some cases, visually interesting outdoor art installations as viewed on May 9, 2022 in Bombay Beach near Niland, California. Bombay Beach during the 1950s and 1960s was a popular getaway for sunseekers and beachgoers until the 1980s, when the draining and increasing salinity of the Salton Sea destroyed the lake's ecosystem and drove businesses and private landowners out of the area, rendering Bombay Beach a virtual ghost town.
