The bridge has been closed for 5 years for repairs, it has recently been re-opened and it is a spectacular place.
--
It is a great place to breath fresh salty air, watch pelicans, boats, and more.
--
In addition, a great annual natural spectacle, in the spring, Tarpons arrive like clockwork in April-May, and if you walk 5 minutes out on the bridge, when the Tarpons have arrived, you will see them stacked by the 100s, all against the current, hunting. These are large 75-100 lbs monsters, it is a sight to be seen.
