Bombay Beach is a census-designated place in Imperial County, California, United States. It is located on the Salton Sea, 4 miles west-southwest of Frink and is the lowest community in the United States, located 223 feet below sea level. The population was 295 at the 2010 census, down from 366 in 2000. The population estimate for 2020 was 415. It is part of the El Centro, California, metropolitan statistical area.
Bombay Beach was once a popular getaway for beachgoers until the 1980s, the draining and increasing salinity of the Salton Sea. The population declined for years and the buildings were rotting away; however, by 2018, a number of people had moved into the area. An article in The Guardian stated that it was "enjoying a rebirth of sorts with an influx of artists, intellectuals and hipsters who have turned it into a bohemian playground." The Bombay Beach Biennale, an annual art festival, is held here.
