The Sunken City, Geological site in San Pedro, United States
The remains of concrete foundations and abandoned streets stretch along the Pacific coastline, creating an unusual landscape of broken structures and pathways.
During the 1920s, this residential neighborhood gradually slipped into the ocean due to land movement, forcing inhabitants to relocate their homes to safer ground.
The concrete remnants now serve as an open gallery where artists create murals and graffiti, transforming the abandoned space into an outdoor exhibition.
Access requires careful navigation of unstable terrain, and visitors should wear sturdy shoes while maintaining distance from cliff edges for safety reasons.
Marine life and native plants have reclaimed the fallen structures, creating an intersection where urban decay meets natural coastal ecosystems.
