Soggy Dollar Bar - White Bay, Jost Van Dyke, British Virgin Islands

Palm trees and beach umbrellas line the white sand of White Bay on Jost Van Dyke, in the British Virgin Islands, and this camera looks out from the Soggy Dollar Bar over the clear turquoise water where yachts lie at anchor.

Jost Van Dyke is the smallest of the four main British Virgin Islands, at about 3 square miles (8 sq km), with only around 300 people. It may be named after a Dutch privateer who hid in its harbors in the 1600s.

White Bay is one of the most popular stops for sailors in the Caribbean. With no dock, many visitors anchor offshore and swim to the beach, and the bar is said to be named after the wet dollars they paid with.

Did You Know? The Painkiller cocktail, made with rum, pineapple, orange, coconut and nutmeg, was created at the Soggy Dollar Bar in the 1970s.
