*It is illegal and considered trespassing when entering Sunken City, you are at your own risk of receiving a fine. There is a fence with trespassing signs around the land. Sunken City (http://onecoolthingeveryweekend.com/2012/10/19/lost-sunken-city-in-san-pedro/)is the ruins of a landslide located in San Pedro. It has a creepy post-apocalyptic look to it, it is full of broken pieces of sidewalk and foundation that are covered with graffiti.
