Accra’s beaches are numerous, because the Atlantic Ocean covers the entire length of the city. The La Pleasure Beach, fifteen minutes from key monuments as the National Museum and Osu Castle, hosts outdoor events every other night: you literally walk out of the sea into a party. During the day, it’s quiet and peaceful, so you can read, take a stroll, observe the art showcases, or just lay back and take in the dazzling blue of the noon sky (the night sky is just as breath-taking, mind you). Or, you could visit Tawala (also in Labadi), Kokrobite, or Bojo (both located on the south coast).
