Caribbean Islands: Part 2 "Jost Van Dyke"


    Caribbean Islands: Jost Van Dyke       

Jost Van Dyke is located a quick ferry ride or charter boat trip from St. Thomas to the British Virgin Islands. With its unique pirate history and quaint beachfront main town, Jost Van Dyke is home to one of largest New Years Eve parties in the world. 
They even decorate for the holidays!
Getting There

From St. Thomas, a quick ferry ride and check in through customs (remember your passport) will bring you to Great Bay. Alternatively, you can charter a boat to take you directly to the hot spot, White Bay.

Don't forget your passport!
Beaches

On Jost, there are two main beaches. The main harbor, Great Bay, is a nice sandy waterfront where you can find lovely shops and restaurants, once you are all shopped out, make sure to grab a drink and a hammock to bask in the warm Caribbean sun. The second and most popular beach is White Bay. There you will find world famous bars and restaurants and a daily party the likes of which you have probably never seen.

There's nothing like a Caribbean blue beach

Food and Fun

Foxy's is a local namesake in the Virgin Islands where local owner and crooner Foxy will serenade you with sweet songs while you have a fresh rum cocktail and try delicious local food.

Ivan's Stress Free is a bar where all your troubles will wash away. This a fantastic place catering to locals and guests alike and a unique hole in the wall where if you need your drink freshened up you can jump behind the bar and make it as you like. This was also the backdrop for Kenny Cheseny's No Shirt, No Shoes, No Problems music video. Even so, it is still off the beaten path and you almost will never find it overcrowded. 




Soggy Dollar Bar is by far the most famous local on Jost. This is the place where the famous Caribbean Drink, the Painkiller was born. A delicious cocktail made from rum, orange juice, cream of coconut and a little nutmeg it will take care of any worries or stress that you brought down with you.
