Experience nature's jacuzzi at Bubbly Pool, a hidden gem on Jost Van Dyke where waves create a unique, effervescent swimming experience.
The Bubbly Pool is a natural tidal pool on the northeastern coast of Jost Van Dyke in the British Virgin Islands. Waves crash through a narrow gap in the rocks, creating a jacuzzi-like effect with foamy, bubbling water. It's a popular spot for swimming and relaxing, offering a unique and exhilarating experience.
A brief summary to Bubbly Pool
- F739+JV5, Belle Vue, VG
Local tips
- Check tide tables before visiting to ensure the bubbliest conditions; higher tides and north swells create the best jacuzzi effect.
- Wear water shoes to protect your feet from slippery rocks and uneven surfaces around the pool.
- Visit early in the morning or late afternoon to avoid crowds and enjoy the best lighting for photos.
- Bring water and sunscreen, as the hike to the pool can be hot, and there's limited shade.
- Be cautious of the Manchineel tree along the trail; its fruits and bark are poisonous.
