About |
Approximately three-square miles, Jost Van Dyke (pop. about 200) is the smallest of the four main British
Virgin Islands situated in the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea, approximately five miles northwest of the U.S. Virgin Island of St. John and one hundred and twenty miles east of Puerto Rico. Tucked away in White Bay the legendary Soggy Dollar Bar is the birthplace of the original Painkiller rum drink in 1970. This smooth, full flavoured cocktail is the essence of Caribbean imbibing. One sip and you’re sitting at this island paradise. The bar is famous among Caribbean travellers for its unblemished casual vibe and pristine white sand, dock-free beach. Patrons swim from their boats and spend a few Soggy Dollars enjoying this perfect concoction of flavours and atmosphere.
