    Devil's Bridge

    Devil’s Bridge is an actual bridge formed by thousands of years of ancient reef formation and erosion. The Atlantic’s waves have constantly crashed into the limestone rocks, which has created a natural arch filled with geysers and blowholes over time. Waves continue to break against these same coastal limestone rocks, and it is a stunning natural phenomenon.
