Be prepared to be amazed by how nature can be powerful. The name itself suggests it, 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.
