What to see in Montserrat

The island is called the Emerald Isle of the Caribbean for its green hills and Celtic heritage. The attractions combine the volcano, nature and beaches.

• Plymouth. The former capital buried in ash, called the Pompeii of the Caribbean, seen from a safe distance.
• The beaches. Woodlands Beach and Little Bay with dark volcanic sand, calm and uncrowded.
• The northern hills. Trails through greenery, birdwatching and views of the neighbouring islands.

How much does a trip to Montserrat cost

Beyond the room, the island is expensive for the Caribbean and little visited, so it stays low-key. The currency is the East Caribbean dollar, and the US dollar is also in circulation. Cards are accepted at hotels and larger venues, while cash is handy in smaller places. ATMs are in the north of the island.

When is the best time to visit Montserrat

The dry season from December to April is nicest and most expensive, peaking in March. Summer is cheaper but also the hurricane season, roughly June to November. September tends to be the cheapest.

Getting to and around Montserrat

Montserrat is a British overseas territory with a small airport, John A. Osborne, served by regional flights (including from Antigua) on airlines such as Winair and FlyMontserrat. A ferry from Antigua is an alternative. Around the island, a rental car or taxi is the easiest way to get about, as accommodation is limited and spread across the northern part.
