BEACHES
Montserrat’s beaches, with their
soft pearl-grey volcanic sand, are
special. The only non-volcanic
white sand beach is Rendezvous
Beach, the furthest north, which
is only accessible by boat or a stiff
hike but is well worth the effort.
FISHING
There are several fi shing boats to
hire for fishing in shallow or deep
waters. There are quite a variety of fi sh
to be caught including Marlin, Wahoo,
Dolphin, King and Tuna. Shore fishing is
also a popular leisure pastime in Montserrat,
and there are a number of casual fishing
spots such as Old Road Bay, Little Bay and
Rendezvous Bay. Contact the Montserrat
Fisherman’s Cooperative at (664) 491 5645 or

YACHTING
Montserrat is an ideal stop for yachts and
other small craft, which can anchor safely at
Little Bay in the North of the island. A number
of yachts currently call into Montserrat,
especially following Sailing Week in Antigua,
which is held at the end of April/early May.
While the yachting sector is still quite small,
there is a huge potential for expansion,
especially as there are plans to develop a
yacht marina and new town at Little Bay. The
procedure for landing, as well as the customs
declaration form can be downloaded from

DIVING AND SNORKELING
Montserrat’s volcano had an unexpected
effect on our coral reefs and the underwater
world is healthier than ever.
The pyroclastic flows, which flowed into the
sea in the south have brought huge rocky
boulders into the sea, new substrates for reefs
while the ash was quickly removed by tidal
currents. Coral, fish, sponges, and all the
other creatures had time to recover from the
stresses of human activities.
Their larvae drifted with the currents and
settled in the reefs of the north. As a result,
we see our dive spots teeming with more life
than ever before. There are two dive shops to
serve your needs:
SEA WOLF DIVING SCHOOL
