Devil's Bridge National Park is a captivating geological formation on the northeastern coast of Antigua, near Willikies Village. This natural bridge, carved over millennia by the relentless pounding of the Atlantic waves, offers a dramatic display of nature's power. The bridge itself is a limestone arch, sculpted into intricate shapes by the wind and sea. Visitors can witness the raw energy of the ocean as waves crash against the rocks, often sending plumes of water high into the air. Be cautious when approaching the bridge's edge, as the area can be slippery and the strong currents pose a danger. Several blowholes surround the bridge, adding to the spectacle as water spouts upwards with each crashing wave. The area holds historical significance as well. It's believed that enslaved Africans would come to this area, and some chose to jump off the bridge rather than continue in bondage, hence the name Devil's Bridge. The surrounding landscape is characterized by rugged cliffs and sparse vegetation, creating a stark contrast to the turquoise waters below.
