Discover more about Bubbly Pool

Nestled on the northeastern coast of Jost Van Dyke, Bubbly Pool is a natural wonder, a hidden tidal pool that becomes a frothy jacuzzi when the tide is just right. Unlike the tranquil Caribbean waters on the island's southern side, the Atlantic Ocean feeds the northern shores, creating the perfect conditions for this unique attraction. As waves crash through a narrow gap in the rocks, they fill the pool with foamy, effervescent water, offering a thrilling and relaxing experience. Visitors can relax in the bubbly waters, explore the surrounding rocks, and capture memorable photos. The adventure begins with a scenic hike from Foxy's Taboo Restaurant, a well-marked trail that takes about 10-15 minutes. The path leads past Capewright Saltpond, with blue dashes and cheerful signs guiding the way. Be cautious of Manchineel trees along the route. The pool is most active during high tide, especially in the winter months. Visitors should wear water shoes and be mindful of their swimming abilities.
