White Bay is an amazing beach. Very enjoyable, clear crystal water. The Ocean spa was also very enjoyable.

We have stayed on Jost and visited there for over 15 years, including February after hurricanes Irma and Maria. White Bay is beautiful, Soggy Dollar is a lot of fun, Ivan’s, Coco Loco, Gertrudes and One Love are just a few other bars to enjoy fabulous food and drinks. The only downside is how crowded it gets especially on a Sunday. Boats pulling in to close, music blaring with dangerous anchors everywhere has taken away from the special island vibe it has always had. Times change and people discover new places. However, it would be nice to see it scale back a bit. Try to “spread the love” and hit up other places in Great Harbor as well.…

Photos are great, but until you can experience this beach in person, they don't do it justice.…

In my opinion, one of the best anchorages in all of the BVI. There are two approaches into White Bay, one on either side. They should both be marked with red and green buoys, so use them. The center of the bay shallows up and could present an issue depending on how much water you draw. Once on a ball, you can dingy or swim to shore to have yourself a delicious rum drink. The Soggy Dollar Bar is the HOME of the Pain Killer, not Pusser's as some might have you believe. The bars and restaurants are rebuilt following Hurricane Irma, and no doubt, welcome your visit. We concentrated out time at the Soggy Dollar, and there was plenty of seating, shade, lounge chairs, and refreshments. If tee shirts and souvenirs are your thing, they have them. Not inexpensive, but of good quality. The food was good, service timely, and everyone was friendly. A stop not to be missed. …
