Ah, Niland, California. Visited there a year or so ago when we were in Joshua Tree. Super weird place and well worth a day trip! In Bombay Beach, we went to some dive bar called the Ski Inn[0] which was great. Check out the Ruins[1] nearby. As odd as those are, they pale in comparison to the not distant "towns" of Slab City[2], and further, East Jesus[3]. An on your way to both, make sure you check out Salvation Mountain[4]. East Jesus "closes" at dusk. All of this is totally worth the trip. It's bizarre and very entertaining.
