SANDY CAY & GREEN CAY
If you have a boat or kayak, you might want to check out the small
Sandy Cay
off
the southeast coast of Jost. It is the quintessential desert island, with a broad apron of
sand on the west side and good snorkeling on the fringe reef both north and south of
the island. There are also some short hiking trails. The island is a favorite picnic stop
for yachts, so you probably won't have the place to yourself.
Even smaller than Sandy Cay is
Green Cay
, an islet off the east end of Little Jost,
featuring adjacent Sandy Spit with its lone coconut palm rising above the beach. This
is a terrific place to stop for lunch or a swim if you are kayaking in the vicinity of
Little Jost Van Dyke.
Eating & Drinking
At time of research, a new bakery was slated to open behind Foxy's Taboo in the yellow,
white and orange building, which should be handy for picnic provisions en route to Bubbly
Pool.
Foxy's Taboo
BURGERS, SEAFOOD $$
( 284-495-0218; mains $13-25; lunch & dinner)
Foxy teams up with daughter
Justine at Foxy's Taboo to serve easy, breezy dishes such as pizza and pepper-jack cheese-
burgers for lunch, and more sophisticated fare (say lobster-stuffed tilapia) for dinner, all
accompanied by Foxy's microbrews. Taboo sits in a scenic dockside building by Diamond
Cay.
Sidney's Peace & Love
BURGERS, SEAFOOD $$
( 284-495-9271; mains $20-45; lunch & dinner)
The specialty here is lobster, but
Sidney's serves up plenty of West Indian fish dishes, along with burgers and barbecue. Pour
your own drinks to go with the goods at the honor bar. T-shirts left behind by visiting revel-
ers decorate the rafters. 'Time flies when you're doing very little,' as the T-shirts proclaim
(though in slightly different wording). Saturday night rocks particularly hard with charter
yacht crews.
