The coastline on this side is rugged and spectacular towards the south. Access to the Eastern side of the Rock is via Devil's Tower Road. An observation tower known as the Devil's Tower near the entrance to Eastern Beach gave the road its name. The tower was demolished in 1940.</font></p> <p><a href="../sites/bay/dolphins/dolfrm.htm" target="mainfrm"><font size="2" face="Geneva,Arial" color="black"><b>Bay of Gibraltar</b></font></a><font size="2" face="Geneva,Arial" color="black"><br> The bay is well known for Dolphin watching, with some of the highest concentrations of dolphins in the Mediterranean.
