Storms River bridge
The Storms River Suspension Bridge forms a unique contrast with the magnificent natural landscape with its simple steel structure. This bridge, built between 1953 and 1956, is about 120 meters high and connects the two sides of the Storms River Estuary. It is a landmark building on the N2 Highway. The bridge deck walkway can only accommodate two people walking side by side. When walking, the roar of the waves hitting the reefs under your feet and the whistling of the mountain wind interweave, bringing an immersive sensory experience. There is a free parking lot at the bridge head. Visitors can climb the bridge along the trail to overlook the wonders of the intersection of the Indian Ocean and the river valley. It takes about 10 minutes to walk east to the Storms River Estuary Observation Deck, and connect to the starting point of the hiking route to the west. The surrounding area is densely covered with primitive forest trails, which are suitable for a 1-2 hour light hike. On the way, you can see the unique South African protea vegetation and Cape cormorant habitats. Self-driving tourists should pay attention to the many bends on the N2 Highway and pay attention to safety when driving. There are no commercial facilities in the surrounding area. There are public toilets near the bridge. There are no lighting facilities on the bridge at night, so you need to arrange your visit time reasonably.Western District · >100km from downtown

It is STUNNING here! I don’t know what else to say! The place where the river meets the sea, the experience of going up the river and feeling the ocean’s tides affect it. Beautiful.

The Storms River Suspension Bridge is the most famous attraction in Tsitsikamma National Park. There is a long suspension bridge between two cliffs at the mouth of the Storms River. Walking on the bridge is very shaky, although it is a bit scary, but the scenery is very magnificent. You must spend money to challenge yourself.
