Lake Pontchartrain Causeway - Mandeville, Louisiana

There can be few more memorable ways to arrive in a city than heading south into New Orleans on the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway. Sitting 15 feet above Lake Pontchartrain, this spectacular highway stretches for 23.87 miles, making it the world's longest continuous bridge over water (there's a longer bridge in China but that includes sections over land and a tunnel).

If you go:
The bridge is so long that you're actually out of sight of dry land for 8 miles of the drive.
