The Natural Bridge at Steamer Lane In the late 1800s there was a large single natural bridge here. It was made of sandstone from the Purisima Formation and was often used by tourists of the day for photographs. It collapsed during a storm in 1888 leaving behind a sea stack (the vertical remnants of a bridge or arch). A small chunk of it still remains today.

Natural Bridges State Beach just west of Steamer Lane used to have three natural bridges, now only one arch remains! Like the content?
