Jost Van Dyke is one of the most iconic and fun islands in the British Virgin Islands. Although it’s small in size, it boasts incredible charm and a laid-back, beachy island vibe. The people of Jost Van Dyke are warm and welcoming, and its white sandy beaches are among the most beautiful in the world. Here are some of the top spots to explore:

White Bay

The star attraction! A stunning white-sand beach lined with famous beach bars and calm turquoise water perfect for swimming or floating with a drink in hand. Soggy Dollar Bar is a top pick for delicious Painkiller cocktails and amazing local dishes served right on the beach. To get there, you actually swim in from your boat—hence the name “Soggy Dollar.” Don’t worry, they accept soggy credit cards too!

Hendo’s Hideout is another favorite located on White Bay. With a friendly staff and beautiful beachfront amenities, it’s the perfect place to enjoy fresh fish, fish tacos, or chicken roti. White Bay is truly a must-visit spot to sip cocktails, relax, and soak in the sights and sounds of the Caribbean.

Great Harbor

The main port and village of Jost Van Dyke is home to the world-famous Foxy’s Bar. If you’re looking to experience local island flair, this is the place to go. Foxy’s offers a lively bar scene and a menu full of flavorful Caribbean dishes. If you visit during the last week of December, don’t miss Foxy’s legendary New Year’s celebration—one of the best parties in the world, featuring live music and festivities all week long. It’s truly a bucket-list experience!

Little Harbor

For those wanting to escape the crowds and unwind, Little Harbor is a peaceful retreat. It’s home to Sydney’s Peace & Love, where fresh lobster and fish are served daily. You can even pick your own lobster, and they’ll cook it up right there for you. Sydney’s also features an honor bar—pour your own drink and relax by the sea. Strawberry will greet you on the dock with a warm smile and unmatched hospitality. When we visit Sydney’s, we like to call in our order ahead of time so lunch is ready as soon as we arrive.

If you’re looking for the best beaches, delicious food, and some of the friendliest people in the Caribbean, Jost Van Dyke is a destination we highly recommend. Ask Nate for more details!
