Natural Bridge

Aruba Attractions

The Natural Bridge in Aruba is an awesome creation from Mother Nature, the wind and the pounding force of the Atlantic Ocean. This magnificent arch began as a solid rock of limestone coral but throughout the centuries has been carved into a unique bridge. The magnitude of the surf rising and pounding under the bridge and finding its way to the white sandy beach is a sight that will leave you speechless. As you lie on the beach you can witness the majestic waves of the Atlantic and visualize the power and force that it took to create this natural wonder.

The Natural Bridge is visited every year by tourist and photographers from all over the world. Many people wish to capture the power that can be seen by the surf with their cameras. Each time a wave pounds through the arch another majestic photo can be seized. Each one is more spectacular than the last.
