Soggy Dollar Bar

Located on the White Bay of Jost Van Dyke in the British Virgin Islands, the Soggy Dollar Bar is a world-famous institution, advertising itself as "a sunny place for shady people." They're known for their signature cocktail, The Painkiller, which is made of dark rum, cream of coconut, pineapple and orange juice, but the exact proportions of each ingredient are considered top secret.

The establishment opened in the 1970s as just a watering hole, but has since expanded to so much more. It is now a hotel with several different restaurants onsite. The vibes are spectacular, so much so that the Soggy Dollar Bar has a popular 24/7 webcam so that those around the world can watch the fun.

Rick's Cafe

Located in Negril, Jamaica, Rick's Cafe is the must-visit destination for those looking for a daytime party atmosphere. A bonafide institution in Negril, Rick's Cafe is located atop 35-foot-high cliffs and features a gorgeous swimming pool.

The establishment emphasizes that you're jumping at your own risk, but has a strong safety record. This is definitely the place to go for those who want a little adventure, as jumping off a cliff at a poolside party is certainly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
