There are so many fantastic beach bars and restaurants to discover during your Epic yacht charter in the BVI. We’ve compiled a list of some of our absolute favorites, each offering a unique experience and delicious fare. These charming establishments are conveniently situated at various anchorages along the beautiful coastline, ensuring an unforgettable culinary and social journey.
WHITE BAY
The Soggy Dollar Bar – Undoubtedly one of the most iconic beach bars in the Caribbean, nestled on a stunning beach in White Bay, Jost van Dyke, is a magnet for those seeking an unforgettable experience. This idyllic spot offers a vibrant atmosphere, delicious cuisine, and a wide array of local beverages. While they serve a diverse selection of drinks, the star attraction remains the legendary Painkiller cocktail. This tropical masterpiece, born here in the 1970s, is a smooth and flavorful blend of premium dark rum, cream of coconut, pineapple juice, orange juice, and a dusting of fresh nutmeg.
Guests can share the island bliss by sending a link to the webcam, allowing friends back home to wave and share in the moment.
Be sure to visit the gift shop for a commemorative T-shirt, emblazoned with the motto “Swim in, drink, swim out, repeat,” or savor a delightful meal at the restaurant to complement your drinks. The Soggy Dollar Bar truly lives up to its motto: “a sunny place for shady people.”
Here are descriptions of the beach bars:
