Discover more about Bubbly Pool

Nestled on the northeastern coast of Jost Van Dyke in the British Virgin Islands, the Bubbly Pool is a natural tidal pool that transforms into a frothy, effervescent jacuzzi when the tide is right. This hidden gem is formed by waves crashing through a narrow gap in the rocks, creating a unique and exhilarating experience for visitors of all ages. To reach the Bubbly Pool, visitors embark on a scenic hike from Foxy's Taboo, a family-owned bar and restaurant. The trail leads up a small hill, through a grove of Turks Head cactus, and past a Manchineel tree (beware, it's poisonous!). The hike is relatively easy and takes about 10-15 minutes. Once at the Bubbly Pool, you can relax and enjoy the natural jacuzzi effect. The waves rush through the rocks, filling the pool with foamy, bubbling water, offering a fun and refreshing experience. Be cautious of slippery rocks and strong currents. The best time to visit is during high tide when the waves are strongest, typically during the winter months.
