Pont Naturel, which literally means natural bridge, is famous because of the natural bridge formed by the powerful waves crashing against the rocks that once stood as a wall and hence created a bridge. The bridge is supported by hanging cliffs on the left and right and offers spectacular views.

You can cross the bridge but caution is advised as it is a bridge fully formed by rocks only hence it is very rugged, you can also be splashed by drops of water with the incoming waves.

We definitely recommend a visit to Pont Naturel, bring your camera and wait patiently for the waves crashing against the rocks which make for breathtaking pictures. The green landscape around does not disappoint either!
