Discover more about Natural bridge

The Natural Bridge is a prominent feature of Curaçao's dramatic north coast, found within Shete Boka National Park near Westpunt. This impressive archway has been sculpted over centuries by the relentless power of the Caribbean Sea against the island's limestone cliffs. The site provides a fantastic vantage point to witness the raw energy of the ocean as turquoise waters crash against the rocks. Visitors can explore the area around the Natural Bridge, taking in the unique flora and fauna that thrive in this coastal environment. The rhythmic sounds of the waves and the vibrant colors of the landscape create a serene and awe-inspiring atmosphere. The bridge is located within Shete Boka National Park, which was established in 1994 to protect important nesting sites for sea turtles. From May to December, lucky visitors might even spot sea turtles laying eggs at Boka Kalki. While the original, larger natural bridge collapsed years ago due to erosion, this smaller, yet still impressive, formation remains a testament to the power of nature.
