Cool facts about Montserrat

Posted on Sep 02, 2025 / Travel

Montserrat is nicknamed the “Emerald Isle of the Caribbean” because of its Irish heritage and green hills.
The Soufrière Hills volcano has been active since 1995, reshaping much of the island.
The former capital, Plymouth, is now a ghost town covered in volcanic ash.
The island is only about 16 miles long and 7 miles wide, making it super easy to explore.
Montserrat has a strong music scene, especially calypso and reggae, celebrated at the annual Carnival.
The local population is small, under 5,000 people, giving the island a tight-knit community feel.
Montserrat’s beaches are less crowded than other Caribbean islands, perfect for quiet getaways.
