"Thanks to a sizable yachting community, beach-bar hopping between islands is a favorite pastime on the British Virgin Islands. And while there are many sandy watering holes to choose from, the undisputed king of the BVI scene remains the circa-1970s Jost Van Dyke legend: the Soggy Dollar Bar. Anticipate having a few rounds of rum-forward Painkillers—the drink was supposedly invented here—and complete the rite of passage by swimming to shore to pay with soggy dollars (though today’s bar tabs may require soggy twenties or hundreds)." - Paul Rubio
