I recently had the pleasure of visiting Labadi Beach during my trip to Ghana, and it was indeed a delightful experience. The beach's natural beauty, lively atmosphere, and vibrant culture make it a must-visit destination in Accra. Labadi Beach is known for its stunning shoreline, and the waves gently caressing the sandy shore offer a tranquil setting to unwind. It's a fantastic spot to relax, soak up the sun, or take a leisurely stroll along the coastline. The beach is well-maintained, and the clean surroundings add to its charm. However, one thing to note is the access fee, which was 20 Ghana Cedis per person. While the fee might seem a bit steep, I found it reasonable considering the overall experience and amenities available at the beach. On the downside, I did notice that the food and beverages offered at the eateries within the beach area were priced on the higher side compared to what you'd find outside. If you're on a budget, you might want to consider eating elsewhere before or after your visit. However, the convenience of having dining options right on the beach can be quite tempting. Despite the pricing, the local dishes I tried were delicious and offered a taste of authentic Ghanaian cuisine. I recommend trying some of the grilled seafood options; they were absolutely mouthwatering. One thing that stood out to me was the lively atmosphere at Labadi Beach. On weekends, it's a hub of activity with live music, dance performances, and vendors selling local crafts. It's a great place to immerse yourself in Ghana's culture and connect with the locals. Overall, Labadi Beach is a fantastic spot to relax and enjoy the natural beauty of Ghana's coastline. While some aspects may be a bit pricey, the experience and cultural richness make it well worth a visit. Don't forget your sunscreen, hat, a good book, and a sense of adventure when you head to this beautiful beach!

Labadi Beach, located in the heart of Accra, is a picturesque oasis. The first thing to note is the entrance fee of 20 Cedis, a small price to pay for the scenic splendor that awaits you. Once inside, the beach offers an immediate sense of tranquility. The azure waters contrasted with white sands provide a breathtaking view, with the higher tides producing majestic, frothy waves that are a sight to behold. This makes it a paradise for photographers, professional and amateur alike, offering countless moments worthy of capturing. One of the unique features of Labadi Beach is the lively marketplace. The vendors here offer a wide range of trinkets and souvenirs, giving you a chance to bring a piece of Labadi back home. From vibrant African print fabrics to intricately carved wooden figurines, there's something to suit every taste. However, with the beach's popularity comes its biggest drawback. During public holidays and weekends, Labadi Beach can become quite crowded, making it less peaceful for those who seek solitude in the seashore's calm. But if you enjoy vibrant energy and getting to meet new people, these busy times can provide a unique and authentic Ghanaian experience. In conclusion, Labadi Beach, with its stunning views, exciting marketplace, and lively atmosphere, offers a unique experience for locals and tourists alike. The 20 Cedi entrance fee is a small cost for the unforgettable memories you will undoubtedly create here.

We had a pleasant visit to Labadia Beach, though it was very crowded while we were there (Sunday afternoon). There are plenty of restaurants to choose from that offer tables and umbrellas to sit under while you eat / drink, as well as beach activities you can pay for (horseback riding, ATV rides). There are some pretty picturesque places on the beach, but you have to get away from the crowds and trash to find them. This is the dirtiest beach I've ever been to (trash is everywhere, including in the waves). There were people swimming in the water, but I didn't feel comfortable getting in the water, as you'll be swimming with a lot of debris. In the midst of all the crowds are a lot of merchants selling various trinkets. I found these merchants much less aggressive than the ones on Oxford Street, as when you say "no thank you," they nod and walk away instead of asking repeatedly. For those who want a quieter experience, you can walk all the way down to the other end of the beach where you'll find some flat rocks to sit on. I'll call this place "Lovers Cove" as it only had a handful of couples sitting quietly enjoying the waves hitting the rocks. Very peaceful. Overall, I recommend visiting, even if just for the experience, but expect a crowd on the weekend, lots of merchants, and quite a bit of trash. If you look past all of that, you can have a pleasant time.

This is a large beach with with maybe 10 cafes offering free seating in hope you will will buy their food and drink. Prices are little expensive by Accra standards. The cafes have rather shabby furniture and tatty umbrellas. I was dubious about the kitchens so avoided the food. There are a small number of sun loungers at some cafes. During your visit you will be constantly bothered by people selling tourist products. There are also people selling food such as eggs, bananas and ice cream but they are not pushy. There are people selling horse rides and people offering self drive rides an quad bikes which are sometimes driven at high speed and close to people as well as spewing out fumes. There is a small swimming area watched by guards but there are large waves - most people stay close to the shore. The sea looks clean apart from quite a few black plastic bags. Entry to the beach is GHC10 on weekdays and GHC 20 after 5pm and weekends. The people who take the money often try and charge double if you are a foreigner. They can be nasty and aggressive. All in all not a great or relaxing experience compared with European beaches. It is however a very popular place for locals to socialise in the evenings and weekends. On public holidays its gets packed to capacity with traffic jams on surrounding roads.

The Accra coastline is dotted with many public beaches, castles and forts. All these beautiful public spaces offer access to the beautiful view of the Atlantic Ocean crashing against the shore. Labadi Beach, however, is unique among these for its range of dynamic beachside activities. It offers a great urban beach experience, with a clean beachfront, good food and music and new friends just around the corner. A beautiful, amazing beech is it. It is the most popular beach in Ghana, with a spacious shoreline lined with sparse coconut trees and plenty of activities on offer. it is usually filled on Fridays and Saturdays, however, on weekdays you can enjoy a quiet environment perfect for reading or reflection. You can also go on horseback rides along the water for a very small fee. During my stay in Ghana few times i visited this attractive and amazing beech. Evenings are very charming here. I really enjoyed this. I suggest you guys visit this beech. All the best

Labadi beach is a public beach giving access to the Atlantic Ocean. In many respects it is a nice beach location. There are a number of restaurants close by to find a meal or a drink. A fee of 10 Cedis per adult over 15 is charged. The sand is nice and the beach goes for a long distance in either direction of the parking lot The time I went, in the evening, there was a large amount of garbage on the sand and in the water. I was also fairly annoyed with the regular barrage of people who approached me trying to get me to pay for sea shells, a photograph, a horse back ride, or just to give them money. I simply wanted to go for a walk along the beach with my kids. The combination of glass and other debris in the sand and being asked to buy things will make me think twice about going back, particularly if there are other beaches around.
