Grandcess is the capital of Grandcess County in southeastern Liberia, bordering the Atlantic Ocean, and is an important port and administrative center of the county. The local economy is based on agriculture and fishing, with an abundance of tropical crops such as rubber and palm oil, and rich coastal fisheries. As one of Liberia's older settlements, Grand Cess retains traditional African cultural features, and is populated mostly by ethnic groups such as the Kpelle. Despite its relatively weak infrastructure, its unique natural landscape and simple folkways make it an important gateway for exploring the culture of southeastern Liberia. In recent years, the local government is promoting tourism to attract tourists interested in pristine natural and cultural experiences.
