Perdido Beach

Perdido Beach is a fictional town on the coast of South California. It is where most of the Gone books are centered. Thirteen years earlier in Perdido Beach's history, a meteorite hit the power plant and spilled radiation hundreds of feet into the ground. Astrid believes that the people of the power plant just paved over it, unaware of what they were doing. Since then, hard radiation had been seeping into the water and food of the people of Peridido Beach. It has been described as a sort of deserty beach, complete with cliffs over the beaches, cacti, the town center, and housing.

During the FAYZ, a third of the town was burnt down and other parts destroyed. This damage cost billions of dollars to repair. The town tended to attract criminal types of people after the FAYZ, due to the Gaiaphage.

As stated by Diana, after the FAYZ very few people began returning or repopulating the area of Perdido Beach. With it being stated that their was numerous neighborhoods with half built houses and complexes but abandoned midway. The School was stated to have also reopened again but was stated to face closure soon due to lack of students and no one had even attempted to reopen Coates Academy.
