Discover more about Bubbly Pool

Bubbly Pool, located near Belle Vue on Jost Van Dyke, is a natural wonder that provides a unique and exhilarating experience. This geological delight is formed by waves rolling through a crevasse in the boulders that line the northeastern coast, creating a natural jacuzzi. The pool fills with effervescent seawater, offering visitors a thrilling yet relaxing experience as they are tossed about by the foamy waters. The pool is best visited when the wave action is moderate; strong waves can be dangerous, especially for children. The pool's depth varies with the tide, typically reaching about 4 feet at its deepest. While the pool may sometimes be calm with little wave action, it remains a beautiful spot to wade in the warm Caribbean waters. The Bubbly Pool is somewhat secluded, requiring a short but scenic hike to reach it. The clearest path begins near Foxy's Taboo, a family-owned bar and restaurant. The trail leads up a small hill, through a grove of cacti, and past a Manchineel tree, which should be avoided due to its poisonous nature.
