(Oranjestad)—After you’ve visited the Alto Vista Church,
the Bushiribana Gold Mill Ruins and the mini natural pool
that is located right next to it, you’re next up around the
northern coast line must be the Natural Bridge. Once the
largest natural bridge in the Caribbean, this bridge has
been a tourist attraction for many years.

The bridge was formed during thousands of years, cut
and crafted by the wild waves that crash into the coral
stone walls of the coast. Before its collapse, this bridge
measured 30 meters in length and 7 meters in height,
making it the biggest natural bridge in the Caribbean at
the time. For many years, this site was also a frequently
visited beach, as the bridge had a small opening through
which the water would flow into the tiny beach.

Unfortunately in 2005, the bridge collapsed, and the little
beach dried up. Despite this, this site remained a tourist
attraction, with many visitors walking along the coral cliffs
of the bridge to see the spectacular view of the northern
coastline and the Caribbean Sea. Visitors can also still visit
the souvenir shop on the left of the bridge entrance.

While the natural bridge no longer is functional, there is
now a smaller natural bridge very close. This bridge is of-
ten called the “Baby Bridge” or “Daughter Bridge”.q
