A swing bridge that floats! Pretty interesting. As mentioned not quite an attraction but very cool to walk on and watch. The bridge swings open to let traffic thru and a ferry service picks up.

What a great idea for a bridge...instead of going vertical to let boats through, it swings open across the water.

Is a nice view from here to the pcean when you saw for first time a big cruisier pass in front of you is unbelieveble.

Great just to experience a moving bridge! Also perfect for photo ops of the colorful buildings along Punda. Nice views of the Queen Julianna bridge as well.
Great photo opportunity on a clear day with the Dutch architecture behind. Watch out -- the bridge isn't always open for crossing, depending on boat traffic. If it is closed, just head on over to the free ferry.
Go to LaBahia for a drink, relax, and watch the bridge and ferrys go back and forth. Great place for pictures. A one of a kind experience!
It is right down town and easy to access. Neat bridge, a little scary though when the water is rough!
