Jost Van Dyke Beach Highlights

By Travel Expert: Linda Samuel
  • Enjoy pristine shores at White Bay, a one-time deserted beach before construction of an access road.
  • Water taxis will whisk you to surrounding beaches for about US$5.
  • Stay in paradise at Ivan's White Bay Campgrounds. Bare sites, tent sites, and screened cabins are available starting at US$15 a night.
  • Ring in the new year with revelers from around the world on a giant raft in Grand Harbour.

Jost Van Dyke Overview

This 10-sq.-km (4-sq.-mile) rugged island (pop. 150) on the seaward (west) side of Tortola was named after a Dutch settler. In the 1700s, a Quaker colony settled here to develop sugar-cane plantations. (One of the colonists, William Thornton, won a worldwide competition to design the Capitol in Washington, D.C.) Smaller islands surround this one, including Little Jost Van Dyke, the birthplace of Dr. John Lettsom, founder of the London Medical Society.
