Built in the late 1960's, these famous bridges where intended to have at the end a Casino Complex and a Restaurant-Bar. Only later, in the mid-eighties was open a two level Restaurant-Bar that lasted only a few years and now only the structure remains. You will find many Park Benches with rest areas spread along the 1.3 kilometers lenght of walking distance. This is a favorite place among locals and foreigners alike to take a stroll early in the morning or late afternoon before sunset. The access to the entrance of the Bridges is at the bottom of the Cayacoa Beach.
