Description:	A partially-flooded trailer community with a few hundred homes, on the east shore of the Salton Sea. Once a popular water skiing and fishing location, Bombay Beach has suffered a decline, due to the rising lake levels, the increasing salinity of the Sea, and related pollution and bad publicity. It is a remarkable looking place, as evidenced by the increasing number of contemporary photographers who have photographed the slowly rotting trailers on the edge of the sea.
Location:	Bombay Beach (POINT(-115.72974979877 33.348270878569)) (show on map)
Address:	CA
Visitor Info:	Off Highway 111, on the east shore of the Salton Sea. Head over the berm on the south end of town to see the flooded trailers.
