The gorgeous beaches of Ghana

By Samantha Fergusson

17th Nov 2018

Tucked underneath the curve of the elephant’s ear of Africa, Ghana has a spectacular stretch of coastline. Extending 560 kilometres (350 miles), it is scattered with beautiful sandy beaches shaded by swaying palm trees and washed by South Atlantic waves. Here, with the help of our local experts, we’ve picked out our top five beaches in Ghana.

Ankobra Beach

Near Ankobra River and Axim, Ankobra Beach is the perfect place to unwind. The golden sand is soft - perfect for sunbathing - with swaying coconut trees providing pleasant shade when needed and a warm sea to bathe in.

There are also plenty of activities to partake in for those worried that beach lounging could become monotonous. Head into the mangrove forest on a tour to spot exotic bird species and pay a visit to the local Ankobra community, climb a nearby “beach mountain” for gorgeous views or try your hand at local crafts such as jewellery making or drumming... All in all you’ll be hard put to find a better beach to chill out at in Ghana.

Labadi Beach

This beach is less a relaxing haven and more of a social hub, but is no less wonderful for it. Located in Ghana’s capital, Accra, it is one of the country’s most popular beaches and is frequented by both locals and travellers who come to enjoy parties around the bonfires in the evening and regular performances from live bands at any time of the day or night.

Accra itself is a fascinating  place and it’s well worth spending a couple of days there when you visit Ghana. The old colonial neighbourhoods of Jamestown and Ushertown make for wonderful wanders - climb the Jamestown lighthouse, visit the old fishing harbour and perhaps visit the resting place of Ghana’s first president.

Cape Coast & Elmina

For a bit of beach relaxation with a dose of history, head to the Cape Coast. Here you will find a beautiful beach situated conveniently near several lovely hotels but also the Cape Coast Castle, a relic of the slave trade that ravaged Ghana for centuries.

Built by the Swedes, then held temporarily by the Dutch and the Danish before being developed into the impressive structure that remains today by the British in 1665, it is a stark reminder of the impact of the slave trade. It was one of the largest slave-holding sites in the world and is now listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. After exploring the fortress, shake off any solemnity and head back to your hotel and the balmy shores at Elmina...

This is an updated review and reduce in rating after my latest 3 visits:

Rehab Beach Club is a nice place, you can come here during the day as well as during the night. Casual- or beach wear did not seem to be a problem so far. If you're a woman, I suggest you'd come with company.

Either lounge directly at the beach or enjoy the view from above. The scenery is very enjoyable. They have three floors for that.

They have daytime- as well as night time events, you can get the updated programme on their social media or website.

I've had fried yam as well as jerk chicken and got to try several drinks, the cocktails taste nice but are weak in terms of amount of alcohol. Prices are alright. Washrooms were clean the few times I used them during the daytime and the place is seemingly well kept despite it being directly by the beach.

They have several payment options. Easygoing place to have a drink, a snack and enjoy the beachview. If you're hungry you could also go for a full meal, semingly big servings.

Things to improve: -Staff efficiency and reliability (long waiting and forgotten orders) -Bouncer needs to stop asking guests for money/tips/gifts and provide more safety instead of making guests feel uncomfortable (!!). -More light sources at night time operation, in and outside of the establishment. Food - oil thats used to fry fish in should not be used to fry anything other than fish or seafood (the last yam chips were fishy and dry). It feels like there is no aclohol in the cocktails. Prosecco/ champagne/white wine needs to be cooled as a general standard latest 1hr before...

Rehab Beach Restaurant: A Relaxed Beachfront Choice with Room for Improvement

Ambiance: Rehab Beach Restaurant offers a casual and laid-back atmosphere, ideal for soaking up the beachfront vibes. The focus here is clearly on relaxation, with a caveat regarding the current furnishings.

Food: The kitchen delivers well-prepared and flavorful dishes, with a particular emphasis on maintaining food temperature upon arrival. However, portion sizes, particularly for the seafood platter, may not be entirely commensurate with the price point.

Service: While service staff are friendly and professional, there may be occasional delays between ordering and food delivery. This can be attributed to the kitchen's focus on ensuring hot food, but could be streamlined for an even more seamless dining experience.

Facilities: The restrooms at Rehab are commendably clean and well-maintained, exceeding the standards of some other beachfront establishments. However, the current plastic tables and chairs detract slightly from the overall dining experience. Additionally, the low table height might be inconvenient for some guests.

Alternative: For diners prioritizing a more aesthetically pleasing environment over immediate food quality and service, Sandbox, located nearby, could be a suitable option.

Conclusion: Rehab Beach Restaurant presents a solid choice for a casual beachfront meal in a relaxed atmosphere. The establishment excels in terms of food quality and cleanliness, but some improvements to seating, portion sizes, and service efficiency would further enhance the...
