The islandsIsland 7 of 8 · Jost Van Dyke

Swim up. Kick back.

A small island with a big reputation. Shoes are optional, and mostly forgotten.

Jost Van Dyke
The party island
Jost Van Dyke is barefoot and carefree, the place where a quick swim ashore turns into the best afternoon of the trip.

01

White Bay & the Soggy Dollar Bar

Swim ashore

There is no dock, so you swim in, which is how the bar got its name. It is also said to be where the Painkiller was born.

Foxy’s, Great Harbour

Live music

A legendary beach bar with live music, flags in the rafters and decades of sailors’ stories on the walls.

The Bubbly Pool

Natural wonder

A rock pool on the island’s east end. When the swell rolls through the gap, the water fizzes around you like champagne.

Signature moment

Painkiller in hand, toes in the sand.

White Bay, early afternoon. Crude Escape is anchored just offshore, and nobody needs to be anywhere.

Good to know

White Bay fills up by midday in season, so arrive in the morning to pick your spot. Visit the Bubbly Pool only when the sea is calm enough to be safe.
