Silver Beach
Edit SpotAbout
Whether you or surfing or into a suring atmosphere, this is the most popular spot in Liberia. Good food, cold drinks and friendly people - locals and expatriates.
Atmosphere:
This is the most popular beach for foreigners - especially foreign aid workers. Most of the surfers and expatriates in Liberia hang out here. The atmosphere is "friendly" - which means if you are alone, someone will take interest to meet your needs.
Additional Info:
It is just an ordinary beachbreak with all typed of folk in the water. It can get big and heavy when swell hits - which means a lot of paddling. Have experienced it double overhead and holding very well - steep drops, big bottom turns, hollow and NO crowd.
