If you want to feel a million miles away from everything while visiting an island paradise of white sandy beaches and Caribbean bars, Jost Van Dyke is for you!
It's just far enough away and out of the way that you can't help but completely disconnect from cell phones, emails, and text messages. Tell your people, “don’t contact me…I’m on a remote Caribbean island.” If you have international calling on your phone, it will still work...but there is no working on this island!
To get a real feel for the island, check out the Soggy Dollar webcam on White Bay where the Soggy Dollar and Hendo's Hideout begin a line of various restaurants and bars as you walk down the white sand.

In Great Harbor you can find Foxy's open since 1968. There, Foxy himself may be sharing jokes and singing. If you are looking for Sidney's Peace and Love, with ginormous lobster, they are to the east in Garner Bay. Continuing East in Diamond Cay is Foxy's Taboo bar. This is different from Foxy's and has a calmer vibe and stunning views. In Diamond Cay is a trail to a unique natural feature called the Bubbly Pool. It is a short hike from Foxy's Taboo.
The Sandy Spit
This is the most photographed spot in the BVI, but few people ever make it there. The weather conditions need to be just right…not much for snorkeling, but an iconic photo opportunity. Selfie!
