- Long shoreline walk: The hard-packed sand near the waterline is the main attraction here. Walk it at low tide and you pass driftwood, shells and the odd stranded crab, with the Atlantic filling the whole horizon on one side and coconut palms on the other.
- Watching the Atlantic surf: The waves at Silver Beach are powerful and loud, and standing at a safe distance to watch the sets roll in is half the fun. Treat the water with respect, as the undertow is strong, and wade only to the knee.
- Fishermen at work: Local fishermen use the beach to launch and land their wooden boats. Arrive in the morning, when nets are hauled in and the catch is sorted on the sand, and you see how the coastal food chain actually works.
- Grilled fish at the beach shacks: Small open-air stands cook the day’s fish over charcoal

- Grilled fish at the beach shacks: Small open-air stands cook the day’s fish over charcoal and serve it with pepper sauce, rice or cassava. Expect plastic chairs, a sandy floor and smoke in your clothes afterward.
- Sunset on the sand: The sun drops straight into the ocean here, and the wet sand turns to a mirror of silver and orange, which explains the beach’s name. Bring a cold drink, find a log to sit on, and stay until the shacks switch on their lights.
