Little Bay, Montserrat, Leeward Islands Cruises

Little Bay, Montserrat, Leeward Islands Cruise Port

• Since the original capital city of Plymouth was buried, volcano viewing areas are especially popular here. One of them is Jack Boy Hill, which provides an excellent vantage point of destroyed eastern villages and WH Bramble Airport (among others), along with the volcano itself. The blossoming grounds where you can enjoy a nice lunch are a weird contrast to the devastation from the volcano.
   
• If you want to hit a white sandy beach, Rendezvous Bay has the only one on Montserrat. It's fairly basic and has no facilities, and you will have to walk bit of a hike to reach it (less than a mile from Little Bay), or get there via boat shuttle.
   
• Diving in the Caribbean is always amazing, and Little Bay's Scuba Montserrat provides equipment and training. They can also rent you kayaks and snorkeling gear, and will even give you a tour of the buried city of Plymouth by boat – as close as legally allowed.
   
• The National Museum of Montserrat shows exhibits showing island history and culture; don't miss the display on the island's production of lime juice. Next door is the Montserrat Cultural Centre, which was initiated by none other than Beatles producer George Martin.
