Little Bay, Montserrat

Montserrat represents a unique opportunity to experience the forces of nature that have forged the mountainous idylls of the Caribbean. The northern half has earned the title of the Emerald Isle of the Caribbean thanks in large part to its rugged and lush landscape with its forest-cloaked hills and valleys of ferns, but also to its rich Irish heritage that has been a significant part of the culture for centuries. On the coast, black and silver sand beaches strikingly contrast with the vibrant blues of the sea for a view that’s unique to the rest of the Caribbean. The Soufrière Hills volcano is a sight to be seen from the observatory for a close-up look of the active volcano that has shaped the island’s history. The peaceful beach, ferry port and cluster of bars and restaurants in the sleepy town of Little Bay with its warm locals and stunning scenery has some true and unexpected treats in store for visitors.
