This is Hell's Gate on the North-East side of Antigua. This is a natural arch formed by weathering and erosion of Oligocene limestone. The sea at the front is the Caribbean. On the other side of the arch is the Atlantic ocean. The arch itself is well weathered, showing great (and very sharp!) karstification. It is possible to climb up the left side (through a cave), walk over the arch and back down on the right-hand side.
