Jerely shares his thoughts about
Monsterrat . . .
“Montserrat is full of beauty! Persons
who come can expect 24/7 summer
sun. There are a number of beaches
you can visit to take a dip in the
clean, clear water. I recommend our
only white sand beach “Rendezvous
Beach”, however you will have to
either take a short 30 minute hike or
hire a boat over from the sea port to
access the area. While present you
may take part in snorkeling, fishing
and other water activities. A fair
number of activities are better with
a group, so I recommend talking to
“Vita Wade” the owner of our local
(everything to do with the sea)
business “Aqua Montserrat”.
There are also a number of
restaurants to visit if you would
like to dabble in our island cuisine;
“Time Out”, “Nanny’s Cafe”, “Java
Lava” and “Good Eats Restaurant”
just to name a few.
Persons may jump on a tour into
the exclusion zone, the side of the
island that was wiped out by the
volcano. Witness first hand the
immense destruction of an active
volcano. Feel the emotion left
behind by the persons who once
lived in the now abandoned capital
of Plymouth Montserrat.
Two key times to visit the island are
from the 14th of December to the
2nd of January for the Christmas
Festival, and from the 10th-20th of
March for the St. Patricks Festival.
During those times, there’s truly too
much to do and not enough time…”
