Discover more about Bubbly Pool

Nestled on the northeastern coast of Jost Van Dyke in the British Virgin Islands, the Bubbly Pool is a geological delight. This natural jacuzzi is formed as waves roll through a crevasse in the boulders that line the coast. The wave action and rougher surf create the perfect conditions for this hidden site, where the pounding surf converges in a warm, effervescent pool. To reach the Bubbly Pool, visitors embark on a scenic hike from Foxy's Taboo Restaurant. The trail is well-marked and takes you through beautiful landscapes, adding an element of adventure to your visit. Be cautious of the Manchineel tree along the path; its fruits and bark are poisonous. The tides dictate the state of the pool, which is at its bubbliest during high tide. Rip tides, waves breaking on rocks, slippery rocks, and strong currents are potential hazards. The Bubbly Pool is renowned for its captivating and fun water feature that delights visitors of all ages. The experience of sitting in the pool as waves crash and create bubbles is both thrilling and relaxing.
