A stunning rock arch carved by the sea on Mauritius's wild southern coast.
The Natural Bridge, also known as Pont Naturel, is a spectacular rock arch carved by centuries of wave action on the southern coast. Located near the small village of Point d'Esny on the south coast, this dramatic formation is one of Mauritius's most impressive natural landmarks. The bridge frames the crashing waves and offers a unique photo opportunity, especially during high seas.
