Activities
Plymouth, Montserrat
Visiting Plymouth, Montserrat offers a unique opportunity to explore a modern-day ghost town. Once the island's capital, Plymouth was abandoned after the devastating eruption of the Soufrière Hills Volcano in the 1990s. Today, visitors can witness the eerie yet fascinating remnants of the city, partially buried in ash and volcanic debris. It provides a rare glimpse into the powerful forces of nature and the resilience of the island's history. The stark beauty of the abandoned landscape, combined with the lush green surroundings of Montserrat, makes it an unforgettable destination for adventurous travelers.
Soca Cabana Bar, little bay
The Montserrat Idol Competition started in 2011 by Tom Walker, owner of Soca Cabana Bar in Little Bay. This fun-filled event gives residents the opportunity to showcase their singing talent and so, every Saturday night from the third week of January until the first week of April, the Soca Cabana Bar comes alive for the showdown. Both locals and visitors look forward to the weekly meet-up where they too secretly judge their favourite artiste. Weekly eliminations leaving the cream of the crop to vie for the title of Montserrat Idol during the Grand Finale at the Montserrat Cultural Centre!
Bird Watching
This is Montserrat’s national bird which is critically endangered. Adult males are a black and yellow combination. Females and young males are olive green. Orioles are slim, long-tailed with a noticeable silvery-white tinge to the lower back. Found in the Centre Hills mostly in mesic forest and at high altitude in elfin forest, they build their nest under the leaf of the Heliconia, the island’s National Flower.
Fox's Bay
A gorgeous, long stretch of beach that starts just beyond Isle’s Bay to the north up to Bransby Point in the south. At one end, you can see Old Towne in the distance, and at the other, the Plymouth pier. Even though this beach borders (but is outside of) the Exclusion Zone, it’s still a favourite for many.
