broken natural bridge

The Natural Bridge site is located a sort distance from Andicuri Beach. You drive past numerous divi divi trees and cacti before arriving at the Natural Bridge which collapsed during September 2005. The ruins of the bridge remain. The natural wonder was carved out of solid coral by the relentless pounding of the surf. The "Baby Bridge" is located just to the right of the "Natural Bride."Adjacent to the bridge sites is a restaurant/bar, restrooms ($1 use fee), a small gift shop. You are able to walk into the coral area up to the edge of the sea. Make sure that you wear very strong and thick soled shoes to prevent slippage walking on the slippery surfaces and to prevent cuts into the shoe soles. This is a stop for many of the ATV and 4-wheel drive tours into the rural Arikok National Park.

Natural "Baby Bridge," ironically located next to the "Broken Natural Bridge" was one of the stops on the De Palms Tour of Aruba. The original Natural Bridge was somewhat larger, but collapsed around 2005 and its remains are still present. The "Baby Bridge" to me is just as impressive and so are the huge waves that crash on the surrounding shores. An attraction worth seeing and preserving. Unless Aruba does something to keep people from standing on the arch, the "Baby Bridge" too will collapse some day.The coastal area in the vicinity of these bridges with their huge waves present excellent photographic opportunities.

Interesting from a nature standpoint. It used to be a bridge, but then eventually collapsed as the water destroyed its base.Spend more time looking at the scenery!

This and all the other areas on this side of the island makes for great photo opportunities. Well worth the trip to the east side of the island, completely different terrain, gives one a good overall prospective.

remembering the natural Bridge when I last visited in 1996, and the remnants these days, I am reminded that we should go see things while they are still there, as some may disappear during our lifetime.

Not much to see at site. Remains of the large natural bridge that collapsed in 2005, and a smaller "bridge". The views of the ocean are very nice. There is a small store serving snacks and souveniers. Prices are unreasonably high.

Our tour guide from ABC took us here. There's not much to see given the bridge has collapsed, but you can see where it once was, and it's quite impressive that a natural bridge traversed such a wide span. The location is in itself quite beautiful, nice views of the ocean.

To think that this was the old bridge before the new bridge was built. It is a ruin and impassable but you can see where it was.

Ahora q esta roto se acumula mucha basura, en realidad debe haber sido muy bello en su momento, por ahora es interesante pero no se si vale tan la pena

Toda esta zona fue la que mas me gusto de la isla, la mezcla entre piedras volcánicas y océano es espectacular, aunque en sus playas no te puedes meter debido a la profundidad y los tiburones, simplemente puedes llevar un mantel de Picnic y disfrutar las maravillas de la naturaleza.

El puente principal se rompió hace mucho tiempo y solo queda el pequeño, sin embargo es lindo apra quedarse viendo como rompen las enormes olas contra los acantilados y rocas; es un poco ensoñador el lugar.Hay un restaurant donde puede comer y bebe bastante barato
