Destination Information for Montserrat
Montserrat is a British Overseas territory and a part of the Lesser Antilles island chain, found in the Caribbean Sea. The lower two thirds of the island were devastated by the eruption of the Soufrière Hills Volcano in 1995, but Montserrat has recovered by using sand mining and geothermal resources to generate income. Tourism numbers are slowly increasing as well, as people are beginning to realise what the island has to offer.
The volcano attracts visitors on day trips, and an outing to the Montserrat Volcano Observatory allows tourists to see just how closely scientists continue to monitor it. Anyone who elects to stay longer can take in the island’s other natural features, with glorious hikes and birdwatching opportunities. Rendezvous Bay is the only white-sand beach, and this an excellent setting for swimming, diving and snorkelling.
