The Soggy Dollar is a world-renown beach bar and restaurant located directly on the beach in beautiful White Bay on the island of Jost Van Dyke in the BVI. The Soggy Dollar is accessible by land or by sea, however, as the name implies when coming by sea you must “swim in” as there is no dinghy dock and your money is sure to get wet.
Known as the birthplace of the Painkiller, the story goes that this smooth, full flavored rum cocktail that has become the essence of Caribbean imbibing was originated and perfected at the Soggy Dollar in the 1970’s.
The Soggy Dollar Bar serves lunch from 11 to 3 pm and appetizers for dinner from 3 to 6:30 pm daily.

BVI Traveller was created in September of 2017 to help tourism in the British Virgin Islands recover from the devastation wrought by Hurricane Irma.
To that end, we met our goals. In the past 7 years there have been over 1.2 million visits to the website and over 3 million pages have been viewed. There are over 1,000 pages on the site featuring news posts and detailed listings on all hotels, villas, restaurants and sailing charters located in the BVI. The BVI Government and many business, hotels, villas and sailing charters have all agreed that the site “moved the needle on tourism” after Irma.
The site, however, has run its course. It has served its purpose by bringing visitors and local businesses together to rebuild the tourist industry and it is now time to shut down operations for good.
I want to thank everyone for your help and support.
