The Natural bridge in Neil Island (Shaheed Dweep) is one of the most iconic and awe-inspiring natural attractions in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Carved over thousands of years by the relentless forces of wind and sea, this stunning rock formation is a must-visit spot for nature lovers, photographers, and anyone looking to witness the raw beauty of the islands.
Also known locally as the Howrah Bridge (a name given by Bengali settlers), the Natural Bridge is a naturally formed rock arch or sea arch, created by the continuous erosion of limestone rocks by sea waves. The structure stands firm even as waves crash around its base, and is covered in colorful algae, corals, and marine life, making it a fascinating geological wonder.
It’s not just the arch itself that captivates visitors, but also the scenic tide pools, shell-studded coastline, and the vibrant marine biodiversity around it.
