🦴 Carcass Beach - Exploring the Haunting Shores of the Salton Sea 🌊🐾

Simba and I visited Carcass Beach in Calipatria, California — one of the Salton Sea’s most haunting and surreal stretches of shoreline. Known for its shimmering but unsettling terrain of crushed barnacle shells, scattered fish remains, and bleached bones, this eerie beach is a stark reminder of the Salton Sea’s troubled ecological past and its ever-changing future.

The landscape is beautiful in its own strange way — quiet, wide open, and overwhelmingly still — yet every step crunches with the reminders of what once thrived here. For anyone fascinated by forgotten natural wonders, desert oddities, or stark environmental contrasts, Carcass Beach is a must-see.

Final Thoughts

Carcass Beach is unlike anywhere else in California — unsettling, fascinating, and strangely peaceful all at once. It’s a place that tells a story without speaking, and one that leaves a lasting impression long after you’ve left the shoreline.
