Discover more about Bubbly Pool

Tucked away on the northeastern coast of Jost Van Dyke in the British Virgin Islands, the Bubbly Pool is a unique geological formation that creates a natural jacuzzi. This isn't your typical serene cove; when the tide is right, the pool transforms into a frothy, bubbling delight as waves surge through the rocks. The pool's magic happens as the powerful Atlantic waves crash against the rock formations, creating a mesmerizing spectacle of foamy, effervescent water. Visitors can relax and enjoy the sensation of being tossed around in nature's own jacuzzi. Be mindful of the power of the ocean and heed posted warnings about rip tides and slippery rocks. The adventure begins with a scenic hike from Foxy's Taboo, a popular family-owned bar and restaurant. The well-marked trail leads you up a small hill, past a grove of cacti, and even near a Manchineel tree, which you should avoid touching. The short trek adds to the secluded and untouched feel of the Bubbly Pool. The Bubbly Pool is best experienced during high tide, when the wave action is at its peak, creating the most bubbles. Water shoes are recommended for navigating the rocky terrain.
