Discover more about Bubbly Pool

Nestled on the northeastern coast of Jost Van Dyke, the Bubbly Pool is a natural wonder. This secluded tidal pool transforms into a frothy jacuzzi when the surf is up. The pool is formed by waves crashing through a narrow gap in the rocks, creating a unique and exhilarating experience. To reach the Bubbly Pool, visitors embark on a short but scenic hike. The trail begins near Foxy's Taboo restaurant and bar. The path leads over a small hill, through a grove of cacti, and past a Manchineel tree, which is marked with a warning sign due to its poisonous nature. The hike takes about 10-15 minutes. Once at the Bubbly Pool, visitors can relax in the bubbling waters, explore the surrounding rocks, and take in the stunning views. The best time to visit is during high tide, when the waves are strongest and the bubbling effect is most pronounced. However, caution is advised, as the waves and currents can be strong. Water shoes are recommended for navigating the rocky areas.
