Portuguese Bend?

When I lived in LA in the 80s, that area of the Palos Verdes peninsula was constantly sliding.

Actually, the lyrics to "My Old School" are:

California
tumbles into the sea
That'll be the day I go
Back to Annandale

“If California slides into the ocean, like the mystics and statistics say it will,
I predict this hotel will be standing until I’ve paid my bill.” - according to Mr. Zevon.
