I liked the drive out there...lots to see with the shore. We had a rental car...thank God...if we were on a tour bus, it would have been there too long. Take your own car. More

Too bad the large bridge collapsed, it must've been a wonder to see. The baby bridge is still standing & quite nice, and the views are beautiful. The waves crashing along the coast are truly magnificent. Lots of trash in the surroundings. Did like the small rock towers people form to the side of the bridge. Probably would not visit... More

A few months before the collapse of the Natural Bridge, me and my wife flew over it during a helicopter flight in November 2002. It was a very special moment because we had visited the Natural Bridge many times since the late Eighties. We enjoyed the view from above but didn't realise it was the last time we saw the... More

The big bridge may have collapsed but the scenery is worth the drive. The coast has neat coral rocks, barren stark views, and spectacular waves. We found the drive easy in a tiny Hyundai, although the roads are largely unmarked. The traffic is easy off the main roads and the road is not too rough if you drive slowly when... More

We visited the small bridge that was still there and it was so pretty! When you go visit the resturant on site and get a banana daquari yum! Also stack some rocks and make a wish! More

We saw it in 2003 before it collapsed so we could remember what it looked like and see what had happened. Amazoing what the waves can do. More

It was beautiful while it lasted. Now after it collapsed it's a flat rock. Wouldn't recommend stopping there other than a restroom break or to grab a beverage. More

Beautiful natural bridge. Breathtaking views, but too bad people littered and allowed for a pool of garbage to pile up underneath. More

The Natural Bridge formation has now fallen into the sea. What is left of it, along with the Baby Bridge, give visitors a good idea of how massive it must have been. We all truly enjoyed the ongoing info our driver Eric (De Palm Tours) gave us. We especially liked the sight of those little 'Make a Wish' rock constructions. More

Yes, the natural bridge collapsed a few years ago, but this is still a beautiful part of the island and should not be missed. The north side of the island is rugged and stunning. Wave after wave crashes in. At this location, you can walk down some steps to an area that was covered by water before the bridge collapsed.... More
