It is located on the Atlantic coast at 17°6′1.7″N 61°40′42.2″W / 17.100472°N 61.678389°W / 17.100472; -61.678389,[1] near Indian Town Point to the east of Willikies. The area around the arch features several natural blowholes. Geological, Devil's Bridge is a natural arch carved by the sea from soft and hard limestone ledges of the Antigua formation, a geological division of the flat north-eastern part of Antigua. A bridge was created when a soft part of the limestone eroded away by action of Atlantic breakers over countless centuries. "On the east coast of the island is the famous Devil's Bridge. Devil's Bridge was call so because a lot of slaves from the neighboring estates use to go there and throw themselves overboard. That was an area of mass suicide, so people use to say the Devil have to be there. The waters around Devil's Bridge is always rough and anyone fall over the bridge never come out alive".
