gorgeous natural arch is located off the south eastern island of Majorca.

rock formation can be found at Cape Greko in the southeast part of the island of Cyprus.

the Forest Department has fenced it off, classifying it a public danger
Etretat, France
Etretat
in northwestern France
is known for its impressive arches and white chalk cliffs - both of which
inspired numerous impressionist artists in the 19th century. At low tide
visitors can walk through the arch. It was originally formed by an underground river
running parallel to the present coastline but the sea has further enlarged them
Cathedral Cove,

The
must-see Cathedral Cove is accessible only on foot, boat or kayak. An arched
cavern goes through a white-rock headland leading to two secluded coves. The
beach - one of the most popular on the Coromandel

Green Bridge is a limestone arch that was once
a promontory and eroded over time until it was formed into an arch. It is a highly
popular tourist attraction in Wales

nearby army range often leads to road closures and climbing is restricted at
certain times of the year due to nesting sea birds

Rock, Quebec, Canada

historical and geological icon, Percé Rock is an island of limestone which is
1420ft long and 300ft wide. It's very name - which translates to Pierced Rock -

away completely in the next 16,000 years
