Chapter I · Grand Cape Mount County · 3 places
Grand Cape Mount County
A small cape town between Lake Piso and the Atlantic that has become West Africa's quiet surf secret, with long left-hand point breaks rolling past fishing canoes. Beach camps under giant cotton trees keep the vibe simple and friendly.

Montserrado County
Liberia's oceanfront capital, founded by freed American slaves in 1822 and named after US president James Monroe. Waterside Market, the ruined Ducor Hotel viewpoint and surf-friendly beaches at nearby Mamba Point trace the city's resilient story.
✦ November to April, during the dry season · $
Chapter III · Bomi County · 1 place
Bomi County
A striking blue-water lake formed in a former iron-ore mining pit near Tubmanburg. Its unusually vivid color comes from the mineral content of the surrounding rock.

Sinoe County
Liberia's largest protected area preserves one of West Africa's biggest remaining blocks of Upper Guinean rainforest. Pygmy hippos, forest elephants and chimpanzees survive in its dense interior, reachable only by rough roads and river crossings.
✦ December to April, when forest tracks are passable
