Devil's Bridge National Park — Attraction in Antigua

Ok Google travelers here is the low down on Devil's Bridge. This place rocks! For my nature lover peeps this place is a must see and for my Black history folks Devils Bridge is a historical landmark that will allow you to take a peek at life during slavery. Warning: Devil's Bridge is not for Ye disciples who think slavery was a choice and that black people of that era could just walk off the plantation and file a grievance about how they were being treated. No this place is for folks who love nature and the powerful affect nature and spirituality can have on the human psyche. I loved this place from both perspectives. The Atlantic ocean in her powerful majesty shapes the landscape to create water jet pockets that shoot gushers of water out of the rock formations causing a cascade of water that is so amazing to watch. Then you feel the water spray and you feel like you're in another world. This almost metaphysical feeling allows you to understand why the African slaves who could not take bring Uber the lash anymore chose this spot to join the ancestors who decided it was better to die than to be in bondage. (shout-out to Killmonger of Black Panther) Really, you feel the African slaves worshipping on this spot praying to the Lord above to take them away from this inhumane suffering. The natural beauty of the Devil's Bridge takes on a Moon or Mars landscape that makes you forget your on planet earth. I highly recommend this place not for an abundance of activity but for the serenity and connection to whichever deity you choose to...

I'm staying at the veranda right next to Devil's Bridge in Antigua we decided to go to Antigua 4 years ago because of covid we had to cancel our trip so we're staying right next to where the Devil's Bridge is and our accommodations are really nice at the Verandah which is right next to Devil's Bridge so we saw a sign down at the beach saying hey if you want to go to Devil's Bridge it's just a short walk down to Devil's Bridge so we took a walk down there two days ago and we didn't know the history of Devil's Bridge and there are some ladies and vendors selling some things and they said nothing ever good happens over here at this place and so sorry gave us an eerie Fury you know and in the history of the place was that the slaves came down and committed suicide in there and cuz they didn't want to do you know be a slave anymore because of the sugar trade industry the slaves that came over so while we were there it wasn't supposed to rain the fog starts rolling in the fog rolls in it starts drizzling and raining and so it was like you know we're sitting there on the bench and we're just saying okay I guess it's time to leave now because I don't know just had a spooky feeling about the place and so then we went by with a boat the next day when we were out snorkeling to check out I don't know so if you're here you got to check out Devil's Bridge it's part of Antigua but some of the history and the surrounding deaths that are here...

A Must See Natural Wonder in Antigua ✨️

I’m so glad I made time to visit Devil’s Bridge during my trip to Antigua. This dramatic natural limestone arch, carved over centuries by the Atlantic Ocean, is one of the island’s most striking and humbling natural wonders. The blowholes are incredibly powerful watching the waves slam through and spray high into the air was both thrilling and surreal.

🌊 Breathtaking Views Set on Antigua’s rugged eastern coastline, the panoramic ocean views here are simply mesmerizing. You truly feel the raw force of nature at this spot.

⚠️ Precautions to Keep in Mind:

•The limestone is extremely slippery locals strongly advise not to cross the bridge itself. 🚩🚩🚩

• Wear good walking shoes, the terrain is rocky and uneven.

• The road leading to the site is unpaved and bumpy a 4x4 vehicle or cautious slow driving is recommended.

📍 Pro Tip: Pair your visit with Betty’s Hope Historic Sugar Plantation, just a short drive away, for a deeper understanding of the island’s past. Devil’s Bridge carries a poignant and tragic history. Being there gave me a moment of deep reflection and respect.

If your plans allow, don’t miss Devil’s Bridge. It’s raw, wild, powerful, and unlike any other place on the island. A short stop here (20–30 minutes is enough, longer if you love photography) offers a deep connection to both nature and history just remember to stay safe and tread...
