Little Bay
Little Bay is a port town intended to be the future capital of the island of Montserrat, a British Overseas Territory in the Caribbean.
On Montserrat’s west coast, Little Bay Beach is one of the most popular crescents of sand on the island. The calm waters are great for swimming and snorkeling, and you can relax along the gray-sand shore. Beachside restaurants sell local seafood and refreshments, and you’ll find dive shops and places to rent water sports equipment here as well. The Montserrat Cultural Centre is another top attraction here, funded by ex-Beatles producer, Sir George Martin, serving as a multipurpose performing arts venue.
Soufrière Hills
The Soufrière Hills are an active, complex stratovolcano with many lava domes on the island of Montserrat. After a long period of dormancy, the Soufrière Hills volcano erupted in 1995, devastating a large section of Montserrat, including the once-charming capital of Plymouth.
Today, the volcano is part of an exclusion zone, however, you can organize a guided and police-escorted tour, subject to seismic activity, to parts of this zone through Sun’s Montserrat Island Tours. If you are traveling around the island on your own, you can also experience and photograph a sobering view of the volcano from several vantage points, such as the Jack Boy Hill, and the Montserrat Volcano Observatory.
