Life in
Montserrat
…
Montserrat
is on the move, but
has taken precautions to preserve the unique environment it has enjoyed
for hundreds of years. The new town being created at Little bay is now
well underway and already includes eateries, and pubs. The “Sir
George and
Lady
Martin
Cultural
Arts
Center
”, is located near the Little Bay area, and seats up to 2500.
Nearby you will enjoy a new football/sports arena and new tennis
courts. Montserrat is
also a proudly active participant in the much popularized 20-20 Cricket
Competition; which, takes place throughout the
Caribbean
. The “Salem Cricket
Field” has been recently modernized.
These popular amenities along with the acclaimed "Montserrat Market
Square" is arrayed in true
Caribbean
tradition with a splash of modern trimmings and conveniences second to
none.
Thus, while Montserrat may not be for
everyone as it is a small ( ~ 40 Sq Mi), relatively private, and not
yet fully developed country, you are welcome to come and partake in our
tropical paradise, which is the safest and cleanest Island in the
Caribbean
in a truly delightful setting.
