Introducing Busua & Dixcove
These two fishing villages, only 30km or so west of Takoradi and an easy drive from Accra, boast some of the nicest beaches in Ghana. Busua, the more developed of the two villages as far as tourism goes, is blessed with a long, sandy stretch and water that is ideal for swimming and even a little surfing. There is now even more reason to head down this way thanks to the addition of two low-key bungalow hang-outs near Dixcove, also the site of the picturesque Fort Metal Cross (admission US$1.10, camera fee US$0.50; 9am-5pm), which overlooks the port.

If you head east along the beach from Busua, after about 2km you will reach the settlement of Butre, site of the ruined Fort Batenstein.
