The Swing Bridge, spanning Haulover Creek, is a remarkable manually operated swing bridge that has been a vital part of Belize City's infrastructure since its construction. It is one of the few such bridges still in operation, and visitors can watch as it is hand-cranked to allow boats to pass. The bridge offers excellent photo opportunities of the creek and cityscape, and its historic significance as an engineering achievement makes it a must-see landmark. Strolling across provides a glimpse into the city's past and present.
