Beautiful beaches in Ghana....

There are few beaches in Ghana I go anytime I want a quiet time to think and have fun, I'm sure you will understand why, after reading a brief history on them. I am going to tell you about five of many...enjoy!

Ada beach;
One hundred km east of Accra is the Ada Beach. This coastal beach town is located at the estuary of the Volta River. It is an area of great scenic beauty. Its extensive sand bars have become nesting grounds for sea birds. Endangered species of marine turtles can also be found here.

This is a perfect haven for skiing, fishing and other water sports. The beach also has a marina nearby, perfect for yachting.

The beaches east of Accra are typically less visited by tourists, so you are less likely to encounter requests for “tips” and more likely to be able to have an authentic social interaction with locals.

Cocoloco beach;
Cocoloco beach is a breeding ground for sea turtles, as well as a sanctuary for estuarine birds. Near Ada, the Cocoloco Beach is also located east of Accra, where the Volta River empties into the Atlantic Ocean. This beach is a perfect destination not only for beach combers but also for nature lovers, as well.







Gomoa Fete;
About an hour west of Accra you will find a fantastic beach that is rarely visited. This town, perched on a hillside, slopes down to two lovely sandy beaches. Located nearby is the fishing village of Senya Beraku, which is home to one of our less visited smaller forts, the Fort of Good Hope.

This is the closest beach to Accra that is also suitable for surfing.










Elmina Beach;
The beaches around Elmina are among the most beautiful beaches along West Africa. The waves are mostly quite strong and a wide line of palm trees bordering the coastline makes a perfect scene. Walking around here is great, and so is sitting in the shade of the palms, with a great view of St. George's Castle. No litter, no entrance fees and no loud music. You are mostly alone enjoying the tranquility.


Kokrobite beach;
Kokrobite is a funky beach town well suited to all beach lovers who feel for something different with lots of variety. It is a home for all reggae lovers and rastafarians as well, so it can have more of a party atmosphere than other beaches outside of Accra.

Located about 27km west of Accra, Kokrobite beach is a popular destination for beach lovers seeking rich tropical paradise and pristine beaches.

One of our favorite activities here is to arrange a bonfire celebration at night, complete with drumming, singing and dancing.
