Visitors expecting mass devastation are in for a surprise; Montserrat ranks among the region's most pristine destinations, its luxuriant vegetation and jagged green hills justifying the moniker "Emerald Isle" (most locals are descended from Irish settlers, whose influence lingers in place and family names, folklore, jigs, even a wispy brogue).
Montserrat restaurants serve classic Caribbean fare, including such specialties as goatwater (a thick stew of goat meat, tubers, and vegetables that seems to have been bubbling for days), mountain chicken (giant frogs' legs), saal-fish kiac (codfish fritters), and home-brewed ginger beer.
Currently, Montserrat primarily offers villas (housekeepers and cooks can be arranged) or guesthouses, the latter often incorporating meals in the rate (ask if the 10% tax and 10% service charge are included and be sure you make dining reservations).

 Wise practices for coping with beach erosion Montserrat   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Especially in Montserrat, where the recent volcanic activity has rendered so much of the island unsafe for living, the state of its beaches is of major importance.
However, most beaches in Montserrat show erosion along one part of the beach and accretion (or build-up) at adjacent sections, thus these figures must be treated as average trends.
Montserrat faces special problems as it rebuilds its infrastructure after the volcanic activity, especially since only a few beaches are accessible in the ‘safe’ zone.
