There are a lot of popular Ghana beaches in this little country in West Africa. Ghana faces the Atlantic Ocean and is blessed with beautiful beaches. The beaches in Ghana are mostly public beaches and are great for water sports such as jet skiing, surfing and kite surfing. Here some of the beaches in Ghana that beach combers should definitely visit.

Labadi Pleasure Beach

This public beach is located in Labadi, Ghana, and has a three-km beach front that offers wide variety of water sports activities. The beach is blessed with strong winds and moderate to big waves, simply perfect for surfers.  The wide expanse of this sandy beach is right for frisbee and beach volleyball. Changing-room facilities, restaurants, snack bars and shower rooms dot the shore. 

Kokrobite

This is a 30-km expanse of beach from western Accra. Although this is a public beach, fewer tourists go here since it is a bit far from the capital. However, people who visit this place are greeted by a scenic view of the hills and crystal blue waters. Few facilities like changing rooms and restaurants are found here but then there are only few visitors here, so the few facilities are adequate enough to provide the tourists’ needs.

The beach also has a marina near it, perfect for yachting. The coastal village near the beach also has restaurants and inns where tourists can eat and spend the night at a reasonable price.

This beach is a perfect destination not only for beach combers but also for nature lovers, as well. It is a great place for camping. Accommodations such as rental bungalows and inns are located at a nearby village.

Alaska Beach
