Sunken City, San Pedro, Los Angeles, California, a former residential neighborhood, now a coastal area known for its geological history and views of the Port of Los Angeles breakwater.

Sunken City, a neighborhood in San Pedro, Los Angeles, California, was once a thriving residential area. In 1929, a massive landslide caused much of the neighborhood to slide into the Pacific Ocean, leading to its abandonment. The area is now a popular spot for urban exploration and offers views of the coastline and the Port of Los Angeles breakwater. The remaining structures and debris serve as a stark reminder of the geological forces that reshaped the coastline.
