White Bay, Jost Van Dyke

Aptly named for it’s beautiful stretch of white sandy beach, White Bay is one of the most visually stunning bays in the BVI. Best approached by water, to fully appreciate the expanse of white sand and turquoise sea, a trip to White Bay is not complete without a swim up to one of the beach’s delightful bars with your pockets full of ‘soggy dollars’. Probably the best-known beach bar on White Bay is the appropriately named Soggy Dollar Bar, which claims to have originally invented the famous Painkiller cocktail. There are a number of other bars all along the beach, as well as a small hotel and water sports outlet.

British Virgin Islands beaches have been voted the "best beaches" by Caribbean Travel and Life Magazine.
