The 100-foot-long natural arch, which loomed 25 feet above sea level, was an awesome spectacle that existed for thousands of years, but disappeared in just one evening, early in September 2005. The same wave action, which carved out the limestone structure, was the cause of its unfortunate demise.
Other natural archways along the island's windward coast have since garnered greater attention. |

Although significantly smaller in size, a natural archway still exists at the Andicuri site, standing off to the side from the collapsed older and larger twin. On either side of Andicuri, other natural bridges are also worth a look, including natural archways at the sites of Wariruri as well as at Black Stone Beach. Other intriguing natural sculptures, created by pounding seas against rough-hewn rock, can be appreciated through a drive along the island's pristine northern coast.
