Denton Bridge is a vital causeway connecting the island capital of Banjul with the mainland across the Oyster Creek. Built in the late 19th century, it provides panoramic views of the mangrove-lined waterway and the bustling ferry traffic below. Visitors can walk or drive across, observing local fishermen and birdlife. The bridge is a popular spot for photography, especially at sunset, and serves as a gateway to the nearby Albert Market and National Museum.
