The Island boasts a number of activities sure to keep visitors occupied...

Montserrat offers a number of secluded beaches along its west coast including the black sands of nearby beaches at Woodlands Bay and Lime Kiln. Rendezvous Beach is the only white sand beach, completely segregated by high bluffs at the north end of the island. It is only accessible by water taxi or for those more adventurous, an approximate 45 minute scenic hike over the bluffs from the harbour. Visitors can sometimes expect to see other bathers enjoying the beaches on weekends, but more often than not, expect to have any one of the beaches all to yourself.

Numerous hiking trails in the Center Hills region offer absolutely stunning views of the island. There are trails to accomodate everyone from first-time adventurers to experienced hikers. We recommend arranging a tour with one of the many experienced island guides.

Snorkling, diving, fishing or yachting excursions can all be arranged through one of the local dives shops.

The Soufriere Hills Volcano is a must see for all Montserrat visitors. The Montserrat Volcano Observatory offers spectacular views of the volcano and offers extermely informative daily tours of the facility outlining the activities surrounding the current eruption. Jack Boy Hill on the northeastern side of the island is a secluded lookout that offers great views of the eastern side of the island, the destroyed Blackburne Airport and the volcano above. A clear evening can offer a view of the volcano's glowing incandecent dome. Guided tours of the former capital, Plymouth - considered by some a "modern day Pompeii" - can also be arranged during periods of low activity. A must see for visitors!

Montserrat also offers wonderful drinking and dining experiences. A diversity of restaurants, cafes and rumshops offer a true taste of authentic Caribbean cuisine no other island can provide. Festival City at the harbour is a local nightspot where the party lasts long into the night.
