What's near the Jost Van Dyke cruise pier
1⛴ Great Harbour customs dock · 0.6 mi from the pier The dinghy and tender landing — customs, the ferry dock and the beach road are all here.
2Foxy's Tamarind Bar · 0.6 mi from the pier The bar at the east end of Great Harbour beach that made the island famous.
3Corsairs Beach Bar · 0.6 mi from the pier On the beach road a few doors from the landing.
4🏖 White Bay · 0.9 mi from the pier The white-sand bay over the ridge west of Great Harbour — the island's postcard beach, and the one you traditionally swim ashore to the Soggy Dollar Bar from.
5🏖 Little Harbour · 1.3 mi from the pier The quieter anchorage and restaurant bay east of Great Harbour.
Beyond the frame:Bubbly Pool — The natural rock jacuzzi on the island's north shore, past Foxy's Taboo — a 20-minute walk from Diamond Cay. Sandy Spit — The desert-island sandbar off Green Cay, a short tender or day-charter hop east. Tortola (West End) — Soper's Hole is about four miles south across the Thatch Island Cut.
Jost Van Dyke has about 300 residents, no cruise pier and no deep-water berth. Small ships anchor in Great Harbour and tender to the customs dock in front of Foxy's Tamarind Bar, where the beach road, the bars and the taxis to White Bay all start; some lie off White Bay itself, the white-sand bay over the ridge to the west where the Soggy Dollar Bar is. Calls are correspondingly small — sailing ships, expedition vessels and small luxury ships, typically 30 to 400 passengers — and a single 400-passenger ship is a big day for the island.
