Description
Bomba's Surfside Shack was an amazing icon on Tortola in the British Virgin Islands. My spouse and I visited around 2000, and we were amazed at all the cool things people had tacked to and hung from the shack, ranging from semaphore flags to old electronics to business cards and more.
The owner had managed to cobble the shack together after various hurricanes and storms, with interesting methods of reconstruction. One of my favorite signs on the shack was "Beware, $500 Fine If You Break the Shack." Unfortunately, Hurricane Irma did just that when it destoryed the original structure in 2017. I've read a 2018 news report that the owner hopes to rebuild but I don't know the current status. If anyone knows, please feel free to contact me.
I loved the vibrance and quirkiness of this legendary bar, with its full moon parties and interesting collectibles. This image is derived from an original photo, and I've applied a filter to enhance its vibrance and add more character. This image is copyright protected, but the "Fine Art America" logo will not appear on the final product. Thank you!
