The Sunken City

Several decades ago, there was a landslide causing all the houses on the cliff to fall into the ocean. Now what’s left are ruins of roads, broken pipes, and beautiful graffiti art.

A housing tract built by over-zealous developers that crumbled into the ocean in 1929. You can still see sidewalk and other debris under the waves. Get around the fence during the day and be careful.

Perfect place for a date! Watch out for cops though, and don't forget to grab one beer to share while enjoying the view .

Best entrance is left of park , if you're skinny enough to fit through locked gate

I love it! It's like a little bot of civilization that nature found a way to take back.

Raw evidence of how good intentions end with broken roads crumbling into the sea.

Park at Point Fermin and hop that fence !

Clint Hanaway

Walk the fence til the gap. Watch for broken glass & check out the tide pools . Low tide is best. Don't get sucked out.
