MM#3 Rotting Riviera
A desert paradise.
A shimmering sea.
A dream built on a mistake.
Bombay Beach once lured Hollywood stars and hopeful tourists to its sunny shores. Water-skiing. Fishing. Cocktails beneath the palms. But beneath the glittering surface, the Salton Sea was dying.
As the water turned toxic, the fish began to rot. The birds followed. The dream decayed.
Today? The Riviera of the West is a graveyard of rusted trailers, junkyard art, and the stench of death that never left.
This is no vacation story. It’s the haunting collapse of a man-made mirage.
