点评:Just 5 miles East of Betty's Hope lies Devil's Bridge. Prepare yourself, though, for a 15 minute drive where the last mile or so is very much a dirt track!
Devil’s Bridge is a natural rock arch located on the Atlantic coast of Antigua, where strong waves crash against the cliffs. It is one of the most famous natural landmarks on the island because of its dramatic coastal scenery and unique geological formation.
The bridge, itself, is a naturally formed limestone arch created by long-term coastal erosion and its unusual shape resembles a bridge stretching over the ocean, making it visually striking and popular for photography. As a result be prepared to wait to get a photograph without anyone standing on it!
Local legends claim that enslaved Africans jumped from the cliffs to escape slavery, contributing to the name “Devil’s Bridge".
We probably spent about 30 minutes here but you can walk around the wider area of the limestone coastline.
翻译:从贝蒂希望镇 (Betty's Hope) 向东仅 5 英里,便是魔鬼桥 (Devil's Bridge)。不过,请做好准备,前往魔鬼桥的 15 分钟车程中,最后大约一英里是崎岖不平的土路!
魔鬼桥是一座天然岩石拱桥,位于安提瓜岛的大西洋沿岸,强劲的海浪拍打着悬崖。它以其壮丽的海岸风光和独特的地质构造而闻名,是岛上最著名的自然地标之一。
这座桥本身是由长期海岸侵蚀形成的天然石灰岩拱桥,其奇特的形状宛如一座横跨海洋的桥梁,使其极具视觉冲击力,成为热门的摄影胜地。因此,想要拍到一张没有人站在桥上的照片,可能需要耐心等待!
当地传说称,被奴役的非洲人曾从悬崖上跳下以逃离奴役,这便是“魔鬼桥”得名的由来。
我们在这里停留了大约 30 分钟,但您也可以沿着石灰岩海岸线漫步更广阔的区域。
