Visit Great Harbour (Jost Van Dyke), BVI

Add to My List Check Off

The most frequent destination on Jost Van Dyke Island in the BVI's is Great Harbor (or Great Harbour). It's the largest harbor and is a well-sheltered anchorage. Spend the night at Great Harbor on Jost Van Dike get to Foxy’s. From there day trip to Soggy Dollar. The town at Great Harbor is great. Head ashore for breakfast. Great Harbour is one of the busiest ports in the BVI: in 2008, nearly 7,000 boats cleared through the island’s port. Today, tourism, and particularly yachting tourism is the mainstay of the economy. Great Harbour has 28 moorings or anchor in 15-30' of water. If anchoring it's a good idea to snorkel over your anchor to verify it looks good (and the boat in front of you...). The beach strip around the harbour is lined with small bars and restaurants. Since the late 1960s, Foxy's Bar in Great Harbor has been a popular stop for Caribbean boaters. Foxy's and the other bars in Great Harbor now host a modest crowd year-round and are filled with thousands of partiers on New Year's Eve (locally known as “Old Year’s Night”).
