Devil's Bridge National Park is a landmark and natural arch carved from the hard and soft limestone of the rocks by the sea. The enormous waves of the Atlantic have worked on the rock for centuries and ultimately washed it out so that a bridge-like arch was created. The bridge got its name from tragic events that took place on this spot. Allegedly, many slaves used this place to throw themselves from the bridge into the floods and thus escape slavery. So it was soon said that the devil would live in this place.
Devil's Bridge, located outside the village of Willikies, offers a breathtaking view of Antigua's natural formation. Devil's Bridge's rugged terrain consists of limestone cliffs and is the result of reef formation millions of years ago. For hundreds of thousands of years, the Atlantic waves have pounded Antigua's east coast, forming a natural arch, a bridge. Numerous geysers and blowholes surround the arch as the waves constantly smash against the coastal rocks.
