A Virgin Islands vacation is not complete without a brief (or a preferably long) engagement with the fruity cocktails, the sun, the sand, exotic food, the locals, and smashing good times.
Yes, we're talking about a trip to the beach bar! If you want a one-of-a-kind bar-in-the-sand experience, the BVIs is the go-to place.
Here are top BVI beach bars that are conveniently accessible by boat from St.
John, USVI.
Foxy's Tamarind Bar and Grill Arguably the most famous bar in the entire BVI, Foxy's Tamarind Bar and Grill in Great Harbour, is a haven for yachties and tourists alike.
Aside from great food, live music, and libations such as the Friggin' in da Riggin and Dread Fox, Foxy's staple draw is the owner himself, Sir Philicianno "Foxy" Callwood.
Foxy, a sixth-generation native of Jost Van Dyke, is a master performer, creating an impromptu calypso or telling hilarious stories and jokes around his guests.
The bar is also famous for the yearly "Old Year's Eve" party which fills the bay with party goers and sailboats that are rafted from ridge to ridge.
The Soggy Dollar Bar On one of the finest stretches of sand you'll find anywhere in the world, the White Bay in Jost Van Dyke, is where you'll find the Soggy Dollar Bar.
Long before the island had electricity and paved roads, patrons who want to drink onshore had to jump and swim for it (White Bay has no dock or marina).
Wet from the swim, the bills from their pockets are hung on the clothesline to dry, hence the name Soggy Dollar.
Even though the bar now takes credit cards, the clothesline still remains for those who want to keep alive the Soggy Dollar tradition.
The bar's signature drink, the Painkiller, born in the same time as the bar's name has become the premiere drink of the Caribbean and the unofficial drink of the British Virgin Islands.
Seddy's One Love Bar and Grill One Love Bar and Grill is owned and operated by Sir Foxy's oldest son, Seddy Callwood.
The bar may look like a dropping of a huge tornado that swallowed a giant plot of flotsam-and-jetsam in the ocean and spit it out at White Bay, but it is here "where magic happens" -- literally.
Just like Foxy, Seddy is a great entertainer, and magic is his forte.
Yachties and day trippers from Tortola and St.
John flock in during high season, but for most time of the year, you can enjoy the bar to yourself.
They serve fantastic Bushwackers and a menu that includes, the catch of the day, chicken quesadillas, shrimp alfredo pasta, and more.
Foxy's Taboo Located on Diamond Cay at Jost Van Dyke's mostly undeveloped East end, Foxy's Taboo offers more of the restaurant appeal than the well-known Foxy's in Great Harbour.
It is situated in a quiet but beautiful spot and has a great breeze and stunning scenic views of White Bay and Tortola.
The house specialties includes kabobs, teriyaki grilled filet mignon, eggplant cheesecakes, and oven-fresh pizzas.
Best bar to visit if you're on your way to the nearby Bubbly Pool.
Willy T Willy T is one of the "must-visit" watering holes in the entire Virgin Islands.
Anchored in the Bight, Norman Island in the Virgin Gorda, the bar is a converted 100 ft.
steel schooner so you have to come in by boat -- and may have to crawl through several dinghies to get onboard.
They serve great food, but what people come here for is an alcohol induced party.
From crazy body shots, the Shotski -- their signature event involving a modified waterski that holds 4 shot glasses for synchronized drinking -- to the diving party in the upper deck, where patrons jump into the water different stages of undress.
Imbibing Virgin Islands' favorite cocktails, sinking your teeth in the exotic Caribbean treats, and being greeted by wide smiles and excited hellos of locals and tourists, while you're basking in the Caribbean sun and sinking your feet in the talcum soft sand, pretty much sums up the whole beach bar crawl adventure.
