Activities for the Wedding Party: Day Trip to Jost Van Dyke, B.V.I.

by admin ~ September 28th, 2009. Filed under: Ideas, Planning Ahead, Things to Do.

jostTake the opportunity with your wedding party to experience the U.S. Virgin Islands, the British Virgin Islands and the Caribbean as it was 75 years ago. Jost Van Dyke, B.V.I, offers exquisite simplicity, world-class lobster and limitless solitude.

The island is about a 45-minute boat ride from St. Thomas. You can ride the ferry, or set up a day trip with any of the local sailing and powerboat rental companies. Jost Van Dyke is a popular getaway for locals and tourists alike, year-round.

Jost Van Dyke is an island of pristine coral sand, making its beaches among the best in the Caribbean. And it’s  so quiet, chances are you won’t see another soul on the beach. But you can always find a shady spot at one of the friendly beach side bars to sit and sip a cool drink or lounge in the hammocks.

Local hot spots include Soggy Dollar Bar, Sydney’s, Corsair’s, and Foxy’s, to name a few. You can also find shopping around each of these places. You can check out accommodations and stay a night or two, enjoying its beaches and even venturing to the neighbor island of Tortola, BVI.  Sea Crest Inn, the Pink House, and White Bay Villas are among some of the villa and hotels, or you can find info from BritishVirginIslands.com.
