The natural bridge formation is a reminder of the power of the ocean. Over time, the ocean has carved a bridge into the rock face. It is clear to see exactly how as the waves came rolling across the sea and into the hole it has created. Splash!!!

Always stay on the footpaths and behind the guard rails as this part of the coastline is particularly dangerous. Large waves and swells frequently hit this coast without warning. Watch children at all times.
