Bubbly Pool
18° 27.3′ N · 64° 43.8′ W
A rock-ringed tidal pool on Jost Van Dyke's northeast shore where swells surge through a narrow gap and turn the water into a foaming natural jacuzzi.
Practical
Position from OpenStreetMap. It only 'bubbles' when a north or northeast swell is running; on calm days it is just a pool. Best in a moderate north swell: in big swell the surge is dangerous, so watch the sets and keep children close (Yacht Warriors). Go early or late to avoid crowds. Reached on foot from Foxy's Taboo (see Bubbly Pool Trail).
Best for
A natural jacuzzi when the swell is up
Season
Best with a moderate N–NE swell, typically winter
