Labadi La "Pleasure" Beach (Accra) - A three kilometre sea frontage at Labadi, 8 kilometres east of Accra on the Accra Tema Beach Road. It serves as Accra's main public beach with only shower and changing room facilities and catering services. (Labadi is not recommended Fr & Sat afternoon, and all Sunday!)
CoCo Beach (Accra): (a very local beach...)
Kokrobrite Beach Resort - Kokrobite near (30 kilometres west of) Accra. A sprawling beach with a dramatic backdrop of hills. It is a favourite of tourists because of its serene atmosphere and its almost secluded nature. Kokrobite beach can be dangerous at night, so tourists are advised to beware of pickpockets and petty thieves. Fortunately, since the recent building of the local police station, these problems have considerably diminished. |

During the day the beach and surrounding villages are generally safe, friendly, and used to visitors. Traveling Ghana, we always advise, to have a local person with you. Also driving or traveling at night should be avoided.
Gomoa Fetteh Beach - Two of Ghana's most popular beach resorts are located at Gomoa Fetteh - Tills No. 1 Beach Resort, which is popular with families and backpackers, and White Sands, Ghana's exclusive, beach club.

of the lake constant. The lake is surrounded by a peaceful and serene atmosphere. ::: Pleas visit again, for more info`s and pictures!
