Once things close down on White Bay in the early evening, head back to the villa to unwind before heading down to Great Harbour for dinner, drinks, and entertainment.
You also have easy access to Jeep rentals, boat rentals, and taxis if you are interested in exploring some of the distant parts of the island including Little Harbour and Diamond Cay, which is home to Foxy's Taboo, the B-Line Bar, and the Bubbly Pool.

Soggy Dollar Bar
This iconic and well-known beach bar is just down the hill from Almost Heaven Villa on the beach of White Bay. Famous for the legendary "Painkiller" drink that was invented here, Soggy Dollar Bar offers exceptional service, light-fare lunch, dinner, and some of the best drinks - you'll have a hard time remembering! It's the perfect place for lounging and people-watching with your toes in the water. Visit the Soggy Dollar Bar website for more info.
B-Line Beach Bar
B-Line Bar is located on Little Jost Van Dyke. Guests usually end up at the B-Line after renting a dinghy from Jost Van Dyke SCUBA. It's a great place to re-charge after exploring Sandy Cay and Sandy Spit. Order their popular "fish n foil" for lunch and try their signature drink, Passion Confusion, as you challenge other patrons to a game of corn hole.
Hike To The Bubbly Pool
The Bubbly Pool is one of Jost Van Dyke’s most unique natural attractions, located on the island’s rugged East End. Reached by a scenic hike along the coastline, this natural rock pool comes alive when ocean swells roll in—sending waves crashing over the rocks and creating a “bubbly” jacuzzi-like effect. The experience is especially exciting when the seas are higher. Plan your adventure before or after lunch at nearby Foxy’s Taboo.
Island Hop
Island Hopping by Ferry from Jost Van Dyke is an easy and scenic way to explore more of the British Virgin Islands during your stay. From Great Harbour, guests can conveniently hop over to Tortola for shopping, dining, and sightseeing, or plan a memorable day trip to Virgin Gorda—home to the world-famous Baths—via ferry service on Wednesdays. The local New Horizon Ferry Service provides reliable, stress-free transportation between islands, making it simple to expand your adventure beyond Jost Van Dyke.
