Bolsa Chica is now a very nice State Beach/Park.
All that trash before was a sight to behold.
Why was Bolsa Chica called Tin Can Beach?
In the 1950's, the beach below Bolsa Chica became known as Tin Can Beach due to the 300-ton piles of trash that had been improperly discarded of and left there. Campers and squatters lived in the area for months at a time in makeshift shacks and shanties constructed of cardboard, tarpaper, and scrap lumber.
