Jost van dyke

Located about 6 km west of Tortola, it is covered with hills rich in vegetation. In particular, the highest point of the island, the hill called Majohnny Hill, rises up to 321 meters above sea level. The name of the island derives from that of Joost van Dyk, a Dutch privateer who was among the first European colonizers of the Virgin Islands. Especially in the eastern part of the island there is Diamond Cay, it is not a real island as it is connected to Jost Van Dyke by a thin strip of land. This is precisely why it is famous: for the spectacular bays and the number of fun beach bars.
