Great Harbor
Great Harbour sits on the southwestern shore of Jost Van Dyke, one of the British Virgin Islands' most legendary stops for anyone cruising the region. You'll find plenty of swinging room to anchor here, with a sandy bottom that holds well, backed by a laid-back village that's home to the famous Foxy's beach bar — a bucket-list spot in its own right. The vibe is unhurried and festive, especially around New Year's when this little harbour arguably becomes the biggest party in the Caribbean. Just be aware the mooring field fills up fast, so arrive early if you want a good spot.
