Back in the days, during the '50s and '60s Bombay Beach was a vibrant holiday resort. Located in California and just a 2-hour drive west from LA. Guests swam, came for golfing, the yacht clubs and partied all night. These days it's an abandoned wasteland. The smell of rotten fish, salt and petrol covers the area. The coastline, once packed with sunbathers is covered in desiccated fish carcasses.

Bombay Beach lies at the Salton Sea, a manmade lake that resulted by an accident. The Colorado River breached its barriers and flooded an entire valley. As this happened right in the desert, near Palm Springs, a new holiday hotspot was created.
The magazine I made takes a look at Bombay beach's remains and talks about the transformation and mistakes that were made trying to rescue the area. It features stories and insights of the people still living there and resist to leave.
