The Sunbury Crab Company
The Sunbury Crab Company is a local favorite located on the coast in Sunbury, just east of Midway. It’s the only place in Liberty County that you can eat fresh seafood and enjoy a panoramic view of the coast. This is a place that you go to sit back, relax and enjoy! They do ask that you make a reservation for dine-in if you’re party is bigger than 6. Y’all can get good eats with a good view at 539 Brigantine Dunmore Road in Midway on Wednesday-Friday from 5-9pm, Saturday 12-9pm and Sunday 12-8pm!
Irene B. Thomas Park
Irene B. Thomas Park is another spot that many people don’t know about! It is conveniently located on Sharon and Elaine Streets off of E.G. Miles Parkway. With a half mile walking trail that wraps around a pond, you can get your steps in while enjoying the view! If you like to fish, bring your fishin’ pole and get ready to catch a big one. If you’re looking to entertain then they also have amenities for that as well.

The Historic Baptismal Trail
The Historic Baptismal Trail located in Riceboro is another one of our special hidden gems! It’s open Monday-Friday 8am-5pm and Saturday-Sunday from 9am-5pm. Written and oral history from members of the First African Baptist Church say that the site was in use as early as the 1840’s as a place to perform Christian baptism for enslaved people. It lives on as a very spiritual place, and we highly encourage you to go visit!
