Has anyone been to Bomba's Surfside Shack on Tortola? I've heard they have a special drink. Is this a must see and experience? There's a website and it seems they appreciate undergarment donations. http://www.bombasurfsideshack.com/default.asp

Well, my opinion is that if you are under 25 and on the wild side you will enjoy a full moon party at the Bomba Shack.
It is crowded mayhem and reminded me of spring break in Daytona.
(I was 28 when I went and it did nothing for me and I have always been on the wild side, too many people that don't handle their booze(or other "drinks") taking their clothes off)

WOW, I guess I sound like a prude.
I appreciate Nekkidness as much as the next person and skinny dipping in my villa pool with my friends while drinking way too much is my idea of a good time.
I think that Bomba's is just a little too much for me. I am sure that there are a ton of people that love it.

Xislandgirl, no, I'm sorry if that sounded cocky. I truly appreciate your reply. Your reply was all I needed to decide I didn't want to go there! If I'm going to drink too much, I'd rather be with a smaller group of friends. Again, thank you so much for your comment. Please accept my apology! Kellee

Anyways, Bomba Shack doesn't fit with a water-based daytrip. You would have to moor at
Cane Garden Bay and take a taxi over to Bomba's. That area is the main surfing beach on Tortola.
Though I do think Bomba's is worth hitting. Full moon's pretty wild, but Wednesday night Bombecue is fun. All the food you can fit on plate at one price. Pretty good ribs, chicken, corn, etc.
Here's a shot of the main road past Bomba's on full moon October 2005. We stayed at Sebastian's and had fun. It was interesting to see the magic mushroom vendors lined up down the road.
But, Tortola is not St. John. Anegada is pretty sweet, though.
Cheers, Rick

Hi!
We will be able to give you a "review" of Bomba's Full Moon Party in early March.
We will be on Tortola during the full moon (& lunar eclipse) on Saturday, March 3rd.
We are not of the 20 year old crowd. But, do think that if you happen to be on Tortola during a full moon - you would be remiss not to check out this "legendary event" at Bomba's.
There is actually a "more tame" and "less X-rated" full moon party on Tortola that takes place at Trellis Bay. There is usually entertainment, Mock Jumbies & Steel or Metal Huge Balls that have gorgeous artistic designs on them - that they fill with wood & light them on the beach (they call them Fireballs). It looks really neat. That is where we will be spending the "bulk" of the evening. But, will swing by Bomba's on our way back to the hotel.
Again, kind of just for the curiosity factor!
