Discover more about Bubbly Pool
Nestled on the northeastern side of Jost Van Dyke in the British Virgin Islands, the Bubbly Pool is a remarkable natural wonder. This hidden gem is a must-visit for those seeking a unique and fun experience. The pool is formed by waves rushing through a narrow gap in the rocks, creating a bubbly effect similar to a natural jacuzzi.
The adventure begins with a scenic hike, typically from Foxy's Taboo Restaurant. The well-marked trail takes you through beautiful landscapes. As you approach, you'll hear the distinct sound of waves crashing against the rocks. The Bubbly Pool itself is a tranquil oasis that transforms into a lively, effervescent pool when the north swell is up.
Visitors can relax in the pool as waves crash and create a thrilling and refreshing experience. The rocks absorb the energy of the waves, filtering the water into a natural hot tub filled with foam and bubbles. Be mindful of slippery rocks and varying tide conditions. The best time to visit for maximum bubbles is during the winter months when the waves tend to be choppier.
