ONCE A BEAUTIFUL RESORT NOW A GHOST TOWN

Once a thriving beach front resort now a toxic wasteland! Bombay Beach, situated on the Salton Sea in Imperial County in Southern California. This interesting place perched on this dying lake is sadly destined to die and be forgotten forever... Or isn't ?

Been in the area a few times and do a bit of exploring each time. Bombay Beach is a place I have not yet been to. Cheers.

Que tal Marco I took my friend Dario Perez there in 2020, an arquitech from Mexico City crazy for places like Salton Sea that place was on his bucket list , he was facinated with every thing he found there as we did drive around th Salton Sea Lake...a few months latter he passed away. Nice to find you at SEMA 2023 Marco

Hi Marco!!!! Nice to see you the other day! Love all your videos. You really are an inspiration for the overlanding community! My hometown is Borrego Springs so I'm pretty familiar of those areas. Keep up the great work!!!!❤

❤ My cousins went there back in the day when it was the place to go and camp fish swim water ski and play. Sad to see what happened but interesting to see how people still find a way to make the best of it. I made a comment on TrailRecon’s channel about how you could make the fish taste good out of the lake! Lol!

[@OVRLNDX]

Thanks for sharing! I don’t know if I would try that fish! LOL

[@tomassanesson902]

Looks like they are doing dust remediation in that area too with the flammable hay bales.

[@OVRLNDX]

There are hundreds of those on the beach

[@danpayan9468]

Marco my mother in law lived there back in the day when it was nice she belonged to American legion the ski inn has really good food Bombay Beach is now a dust bowl so sad is there any residents still there?

[@OVRLNDX]

How awesome! The place has so much history! There’s people still living there

[@fraja36631]

Saludos Marco , de verdad si esta bien de otro mundo esa área, algunas personas cuentan que ahí hacían pruebas el ejercicio arrojando bombas al lago, en la época de la ww2

[@OVRLNDX]

Si he escuchado eso!

[@fraja36631]

Es una lastima ver ese lugar así

[@desert_kings_overland]

When you guys pass threw barstow hit me up. I'll take you threw the abandoned pot farms. Underground houses. And gold mines

[@OVRLNDX]

That sounds very interesting!

[@paulholmaniii9691]

Yeah make some photos

[@BlackdogADV]

How much is property there? It’d make a good bug-out location.

[@OVRLNDX]

Not sure but I’m pretty sure there are good options

Hope you like the stink of rotting fish...It always smells like Fishermans Wharf at high noon in July with a subtle hint of bums nut sack.
