Devil's Bridge, Natural limestone arch on the Atlantic coast in Willikies, Antigua.

Devil's Bridge is a natural limestone arch on Antigua's Atlantic coast near Indian Town Point, east of Willikies. The sea, driven by the northeast trade winds, has hollowed out the rock over a long period, and blowholes around the arch shoot up water and spray with each wave. The surface is wet and slippery.

The arch was hollowed out of limestone over a long period by Atlantic waves driven by the northeast trade winds. Near it, traces of a prehistoric Amerindian settlement show the area was used for dwelling and fishing by some of Antigua's earliest inhabitants. The name dates from the slavery era: island stories tell that enslaved people threw themselves from the rock into the ocean, and that the devil lured them and claimed them after death. In 2008 the site was declared a national park.

The name comes from island oral tradition: during slavery, many enslaved people were said to have jumped from the rock into the Atlantic, and the devil was blamed for luring them and claiming them after death. No firm evidence supports the story, but it still gives the bridge its name.

The site is located on the eastern side of the island and can be reached by paved road. Visit during high tide to see the most dramatic water displays from the blowholes.

The formation is famous for several blowholes that spray water dramatically when waves hit the rocks. This happens when waves enter underground cavities and force water up through narrow openings.
