Coastal Ghost Towns of America

America’s coastlines hide some of its most atmospheric ghost towns. Former fishing villages, oyster harvesting communities, whaling ports, and resort towns that fell out of fashion now sit quietly along the Atlantic, Pacific, and Gulf shores. Coastal ghost towns face a unique fate – many are slowly being reclaimed by the sea, making them some of the most urgent ghost town destinations to visit before they disappear entirely.
