Devil's Slide Bunker: An Odd Coastal Structure

On a bluff high above the Pacific shore in Pacifica, California, at a place called "Devil's Slide", rests the graffiti-covered remnants of an old WWII bunker that once served as an observation post for sighting possible foreign invaders. The bunker was originally built on a thick foundation of sandstone but the area around it, having eroded over the years, has left this old and rusty structure oddly perched high above the surface.

The earth at the top of the peak was removed for a construction project sometime before 1970 but was never completed. Today, the bunker looks as though it is teetering precariously on the summit and looks as though its only a matter of time before it slides into the ocean below. The private owner has fenced it off and it's not open to the public.
