BARTENDERS

Wilson, Alwyn "Chicken" Olveston
Cell: (664)493-5394
Email: Not yet.
Hours: Please call and I will be happy to offer my services.
Specialty: Having worked in a variety of Hotels and guest houses in Montserrat including The Vue Pointe Hotel and Restaurant, I am well versed in what your friends or party goers will want as beverages. Often if I am not familiar with the drink requested, with a little help from the customer I will be able to accommodate almost any taste or request. Since the closing of the Vue Pointe, I have found that my services have been requested more frequently for private parties and get-together's.
Owners comment: I have been working for over 9 years in Hotels and Bars here in Montserrat. I can make a very appealing rum punch or have a variety of premixed alcoholic and non alcoholic mixes. Also, being schooled here in Montserrat I have a wide variety of experience in dealing with people from many counties and cultures. I was also the valet for the Governor during better times in Montserrat, so my service is excellent and my demeanor always gracious. Just give me a call and tell me where to come and when and your Cocktail party will have the service of a professional.

BEACHES

Bunkam Bay
As you can see by the sign in the photograph on the left, this is the steep road down to Bunkam Bay Beach. This is another of Montserrat's very secluded small beaches formed of black volcanic sand. The photograph below is of the wooden bridge leading through a short stretch of woods to the beach itself.

Lime Kiln
In the Olveston area, Lime Kiln beach is another of Montserrat’s small black sand beaches backed by cliffs and lush vegetation.

Little Bay
This beach area lies beside the only port in Montserrat.

Old Road Bay
This is a wide black sand beach at the foot of the valley where Montserrat’s small golf course provided diversion before the volcanic eruption of 1997. With repeated flows of material from the mountains above, the golf course was completely covered, though on the plus side the beach has grown steadily wider.

Rendevous Bay
This is the only light colored sand beach in Montserrat. Its turquoise waters make it very appealing. Getting there and back is a strenuous hike or a comfortable boat ride from Little Bay.

Woodland's Bay
Montserrat’s most popular beach, Woodland's is a small black sand beach with active surf and sometimes tricky currents. There are changing rooms, rest rooms, showers and picnic facilities. Note: The photograph on the right was taken just after we had a close call with a hurricane. With very stormy waters, many of the beaches on the island are temporarily covered in rocks.
