  • Sunken trailer park - at the west end of F street. In the 1980s, the water level of the Salton Sea rose and fell several times. The town of Bombay Beach was partially inundated by these fluctuations and a berm was built on the west end of town to prevent further flooding. The remains of a trailer park can be seen with some of the buildings and trailers half-buried in mud. Power and light poles can be seen in the water indicating where the remainder of the park used to be.
