Limestone is a type of rock that water can slowly dissolve and shape over a very long time. The powerful Atlantic waves hit this part of Antigua's coast much harder than the calm Caribbean side - and that energy, over thousands of years, has sculpted the rock into this amazing arch.
The blowholes around Devil's Bridge are just as exciting as the arch itself. When a big wave rolls in underneath the rock, it has nowhere to go but up through cracks and holes, shooting a column of white foam and spray high into the air. If you time it right, you get completely splashed!
The area around Devil's Bridge is part of a national park. You can walk along the rocky shore and look into natural rock pools full of tiny crabs, sea urchins, and little fish. The water here is too rough for swimming, but it is a brilliant place for exploring and watching the power of the ocean.
Local legend says the arch got its dramatic name because the waves there were so fierce they seemed almost magical. Today it is one of Antigua's most visited natural landmarks, and people come from across the island to see the blowholes in action after a storm.
