Rusty Chair Against Tin Door at Bombay Beach Salton Sea California USA


Bombay Beach is located on the east shore of the Salton Sea and, like many communities along its shores, has had to contend with rising and falling water levels. A berm now protects the west end of the town but a portion of the town beyond the berm is either sunken under water or is half-buried in mud. The town, as well as others on the shores of the Salton Sea, is the lowest settlement in North America.
