Nightlife
One of the BVI's best nightspots is also a good place during the
day, albeit a little quieter. On Jost Van Dyke,
Foxy's Tama-
rind Bar,
284-495-9258, is a legend throughout the Carib-
bean, thanks to the boats that frequent this beach bar and pass
the word on to other boaters. The yachties so love this joint that
many have removed clothing - shoes, T-shirts, even bras - and
stapled them to the posts and the underside of the palm-
thatched roof.
Whether you come by for lunch or dinner, you'll have your
choice of West Indian specialties like curried chicken rotis or
burgers and plenty of drinks. But the real treat is Foxy himself.
Foxy, aka Philicianno Callwood, is a one-man show, greeting in-
coming guests with impromptu songs that may feature a politi-
cal viewpoint, the president of the US, the person at the next
table, or Foxy himself. Sung to a calypso beat, these off-the-cuff
tunes bring Foxy's loyal fans back for more. Every year in
earely September, Foxy's really celebrates with the
Foxy's
Wooden Boat Regatta.
Over in Tortola, the hottest spot is
Bomba's Shack
,
284-495-
4148, home of the famous full moon parties. These blowouts are
some of the best-known parties in the Caribbean - don't be sur-
prised to see some wild action at these bashes.
