Sights in Accra

  1. La Pleasure Beach

    While most of Accra's oceanfront real estate is rocky and undeveloped, there are several sandy beaches. La Pleasure Beach, also known as Labadi Beach, is about 8km east of central Accra and easily reached by public transport. Unfortunately since the swimming area is so narrow it's a little claustrophobic on weekends.

    Lighthouse

    For a great view of the city and the busy and colourful fishing harbour (haze and pollution permitting), climb to the top of the old Lighthouse near James Fort.

    Timber Market

    If you're walking back to the centre along Cleland Rd, which becomes High St, you could take a detour along Hansen Rd to see the Timber Market. The fetish section is fascinating, with its animal skulls, live and dead reptiles, strange powders, and juju figurines.

    National Museum

    The gently decaying National Museum, set in shady grounds, has interesting displays on various aspects of Ghanaian culture and history. The displays on royal stools, state umbrellas, swords and akyeamepoma (linguist's staffs) are enlightening.
