Montserrat

Montserrat

Looking for a frenetic pace? You'll realize happily that it's missing when you hike entrancing nature trails, or sip a tropical drink under a beneficent sun, or drive winding mountain roads which rise into lush mountain rainforests and trace miles of hidden coastline. Beguiling black-sand beaches (and the popular white sand Rendezvous Beach) provide a sense of tranquility and ample elbowroom whether you are by yourself or with that special someone. At night the stars reach down to share their magic, and there is always a cooling breeze from the tradewinds which centuries ago carried sailing ships across the sea from Europe.

Attractions

Montserrat's tourist industry is undergoing a revival, with the volcano representing one of the island's most unique draws. Visitors can learn about its geological origins and history as well as view the volcano from safe locations around the island. The volcanic exclusion zone covers the entire southern half of the island, as well as extending two kilometres off-shore. However, there are various locations from where it might be possible to view the volcano and the destruction it has wrought on the island.
