    A very sketchy looking area but amazing to wander around to view the remains of a once bustling resort town. Great for photos!

    If you're in the area, which you are if you're seeing this tip, this place is definitely worth a visit. Awesome story and history here...and amazing just to see this lake in the middle of the desert.

    Wow, a hauntingly beautiful place with a fascinating history. Don't miss it if your in the Joshua Tree/Palm Springs area.

    Walk around Bombay Beach and take pics of an abandon resort town, creepy and cool. Even crazier, among the ruins, a few people still live here!
