The bridge crosses from the township to the Lakes Entrance Main Ocean Beach and provides good access to the beach and good views of the town and the Cunninghame Arm. The bridge was first built in 1937 and has had a number of refurbishmnents and additions since then.

She assures me "it just makes us adventurous and foolish... with better infrastructure".
