North Shore is a census-designated place in Riverside County in the US state of California . The place has 3477 inhabitants (as of 2010) and is located in the Coachella Valley . North Shore owes its name to its location on the northeastern shore of the Salton Sea . It was a popular vacation spot for a long time, before the rising salt content and pollution of the lake caused tourism to come to a standstill.
The Sonny Bono Salton Sea National Wildlife Refuge is located on the North Shore. Established as a 140 km² protected area at the behest of the President in 1930, the manageable area today is only about 8.9 km². The reason for the decline is the flooding from the Salton Sea. A proposed dike system to control the increasing salinization should also prevent further penetration of the water.
