Natural Geological Wonders

Natural Bridge (Howrah Bridge)

Iconic Living Coral Arch (Howrah Bridge) & Low-Tide Tidepool Trail in Neil

The Natural Bridge (locally known as Howrah Bridge) at Laxmanpur Beach No. 2 is one of Neil Island's (Shaheed Dweep) most famous geological natural wonders. Formed naturally over centuries by sea water erosion and living coral accretion, this massive natural rock arch spans dramatically across the rocky coastline. The trail to Natural Bridge is accessible strictly during Low Tide. As the sea receding water exposes the rocky seabed, visitors walk across natural tide pools teeming with colorful marine life, including live brain corals, sea anemones, clownfish, starfish, sea cucumbers, and giant clams.
