Where is Montserrat?

Montserrat is an island of outstanding beauty, warm friendly people and old warm charm. Unspoiled beaches, clear waters, verdant mountainsides and fresh tropical breezes await the world-weary visitor. The population is 11,000 with English as the official language which is often spoken with an Irish brogue as a heritage left by the early Irish settlers. The island is 39 square miles (7 miles wide by 12 miles long), a British Dependent Territory and uses the Eastern Caribbean Dollar as its official currency. (EC $2.67 to US $1.00). The capital city is Plymouth. Montserrat is 4 hours behind Greenwich Meantime and 1 hour ahead of Eastern Standard Time and a short, 15 minute flight from Antigua.

To Quote Chief Minister Meade... "I take great pleasure in extending a warm welcome to all our visitors. Your holiday will be most enjoyable as you explore our natural attractions, scuba dive in our pristine, clear waters or just wander around the island at an unhurried pace or mingle with our people through our quiet, quaint streets. As so many have discovered, your "Montserrat experience" will leave a lasting impression and invite your return to our beautiful island."

To Quote Governor Taylor... "Those of us who know and love Montserrat are aware of its particular attractions - dramatic scenery and friendly people unspoilet by mass tourism yet providing everything one could wish to have a relaxing holiday. Montserrat deserves to be visited. It will not disappoint you."
