Devil's Bridge is a natural limestone arch on Antigua's Atlantic coast, east of the village of Willikies. Ocean waves surge under the arch and crash on the rocks, and blowholes around it shoot water and spray high into the air. This coast faces the waves of the trade winds with no land between here and Europe, so the sea is strong here almost all the time. The area was declared a national park in 2008. Nearby small coves sheltered by a reef are where islanders swim. You walk over flat, sharp rock to the edge of the arch and watch the blue water boil beneath. You wait for a big wave to see water leap from the blowholes. The area is wide and open, with the rocky coast stretching away. The bridge is 18 km in a straight line east of St John's and 6 km north of Half Moon Bay. Entry is free. Do not stand on the arch or near the edge, as waves can sweep people away, and the rocks are sharp and slippery.
