Little Bay is a port town under construction which is intended to be the future capital of the island of Montserrat, a British Overseas Territory in the Caribbean.
The de jure capital of Montserrat at Plymouth, in the south of the island, was abandoned in 1997 after it was buried by the 1995 eruption of the Soufrière Hills volcano.
Interim government buildings have since been built at Brades, becoming the temporary capital in 1998.
Although this move was initially intended to be temporary, it has remained the island's de facto capital ever since.
[3] In 2012, a plan to construct governmental buildings was decided, and, among other things, a new port is to be built, which should be able to handle ships up to a size of 300 metres.
