The Natural Bridge—also known locally as the Howrah Bridge—is one of the most iconic and fascinating natural formations on Neil Island. Shaped over centuries by the relentless forces of wind and sea, this rock arch is a stunning example of nature’s architecture, drawing curious travelers and photographers alike.

???? The bridge is made of limestone rock and coral deposits, naturally carved by tidal waves and erosion.

???? During low tide, the entire structure is visible, surrounded by tide pools, living corals, sea cucumbers, and a variety of small marine creatures.

???? The path to the bridge is a short, scenic walk through rocky shores and mangrove-covered trails, adding an adventurous twist to the visit.

???? Location: Near Laxmanpur Beach II on the western side of Neil Island.

????‍♂️ Visitors must walk from the beach during low tide, as the path is submerged during high tide.

A local guide is often recommended to help navigate slippery rocks and to explain the marine life seen along the way.

???? Wear sturdy, waterproof footwear with good grip for walking over rocks and stones.

???? Bring reef-safe sunscreen and plenty of water.

???? Keep your camera ready—this is one of the most photogenic spots on the island!

❌ Do not step on live coral or disturb marine creatures—this is a protected natural habitat.
