Buford BarnesJune 12, 2012A 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.
Masha DostoewskayaMay 22, 2018Perfect place for a date! Watch out for cops though, and don't forget to grab one beer to share while enjoying the view.- Phil BiedronAugust 17, 2014Best entrance is left of park, if you're skinny enough to fit through locked gate
Tim HurleyOctober 27, 2015Raw evidence of how good intentions end with broken roads crumbling into the sea.
- Phil BiedronAugust 17, 2014Scratch that. Best entrance is off bended gate bars at Shepard and carolina
Noel Tinsman-KongshaugFebruary 25, 2016I love it! It's like a little bot of civilization that nature found a way to take back.
Clint HanawaySeptember 22, 2012Walk the fence til the gap. Watch for broken glass & check out the tide pools. Low tide is best. Don't get sucked out.

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.
