๐ด Hidden Paradise: Spend a Day at Silver Beach, Margibi County
Just forty-five minutes from Monrovia lies Silver Beach, a tranquil stretch of coastline in Duazon, Margibi County, where Liberia’s Atlantic breeze whispers calm into your weekend. The road bends past palm groves and beach cafés until the sound of the city disappears — replaced by waves and laughter.
What began as a quiet local hangout has grown into one of Liberia’s most beloved weekend getaways, attracting visitors seeking rest, family time, or a romantic seaside escape.
๐๏ธ Why Silver Beach Is Special
Unlike Monrovia’s city beaches, Silver Beach offers wide, clean sand, gentle surf, and a community that treats its shoreline with care. Wooden huts dot the beach, serving cold drinks, spicy jollof, and freshly grilled barracuda.
By midday, families gather under thatched roofs while volleyball nets rise between palms. The air smells of salt, coconut oil, and pepper sauce — pure Liberian energy.
“You don’t come to Silver Beach to rush,” says Mary Johnson, who has managed a local food stall there for ten years. “You come to breathe.”
