swim ashore to The Soggy Dollar
islandtaryn Says: One bay over from Foxy's restaurant/pub is The Soggy Dollar...so called because there is no dock nearby...one must either take a dinghy ashore or better yet, jump and swim! I highly recommend the latter. Now you know why it's "The Soggy Dollar". And yes, there are....soggy...
agapotravel Says: Many people visit Jost Van Dyke just to go to The Soggy Dollar or Foxy's. We didn't have a drink at either place, but I could tell a lot of people on our ferry back to Tortola definitely made a stop here. :-)
agapotravel Says: White Bay is an incredibly beautiful beach located about a 20-30 minute walk from the ferry dock. We love a challenge, so we decided to hike the STEEP hills to get to the beach. It honestly wasn't that bad, but wearing flip flops and carrying beach gear make it more...
NoNoNan Says: The best place to hang out and enjoy. If you're lucky Seddy will do some magic tricks for you,and Raquel makes the best Painkillers.

Ivan's Campground: "Little Beach Cabin"
LaurelD Says: If roughing it is for you, then Ivan's is a great spot to set up a tent. The cabin we stayed in was nothing more than a painted shed, with only a bed, fan and mini fridge. The bathrooms are located a short walk away, and be sure to bring a lot of bug spray! Ivan's...
Seacrest Inn: Best Deal on the Island...........
dreamerofislands Says: There are only a few places to stay on Jost. The Seacrest Inn is the most convenient . The accomodations are modest, but Ivey and Kyra are awesome and will help you with anything! The only accomodations that you can stay at and walk to the main attraction of Jost...Foxy's...

Corsairs: Absinthe at Corsairs
twilk76 Says: Typical beach restaurant, mostly seafood on the menu. Restuarant claims a Northern Italian style plus Texmex with a Caribbean flare. However, you can buy absinthe here by the shot ($10) or by the bottle ($125), pretty cool. Ask for Vinny to prepare your absinthe shot, he...

Ivan's Bar: Party on Jost van Dyke
twilk76 Says: Ivan's is a very relaxed bar and restaurant. The motto is stress free, just like the owner, Ivan, who usually hangs out with the crowd. I went on Ivan's Birthday celebration. There was live music all night, bbq, and a huge cake. Although the bar was very crowded and it took...
LaurelD Says: On Jost Van Dyke, there isn't really a "nightlife". It's definitely a day-trip kind of place, since when the sun sets, restaurants and bars close up shop. If you want to booze until the wee-hours, your best bet is to buy a bottle early in the day and use that. No shirt, no...
Foxy's: Beach and Beer Paradise

We took the ferry (New Horizon Ferry Service) from West End, Tortola to Jost Van Dyke. It cost $20/person roundtrip and took about 25 minutes each way.
We decided not to rent a car on this island because it was about a 1 mile walk to White Bay from the ferry dock. Since that was the main thing we wanted to see, we didn't think we needed to rent a car.

Jost VanDyke is a primitive village. Although some of the establishments take credit cards, you will need to take plenty of cash for some of the samller places and taxis! There are NO ATMS AT ALL ON jOST!

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: PAck very light! The island is very very casual. Youwill need nothing but hsorts and a bathing suit! Even the fanciest place requires no more than that. Dockers would be WAY overdressed for men!!! LAdies--leave the make up and heels at home!
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Do bring sunscreen. You will get sunburned! Also, the mosquitos are bad at sunset but go away after dark.
Photo Equipment: Polarizer filter is a must!!!!!!! GREAT photo ops!

The bubbly pool is one of natures best! It is a must see on Jost! Relax in nature's "hot tub". Rock formations provide a natural spa to soothe your tired soul!
