Jamestown Light House
No. 3 of Best Things to Do in Ghana

Jamestown Light House

5
5.0/5
7 reviews
Located in the Jamestown district of Accra, the capital of Ghana, the Jamestown Lighthouse is a historic landmark that attracts many tourists. The lighthouse and the keeper's house are painted with red and white horizontal stripes. The lighthouse was built in 1930 and is about 28 meters high. It was once an important facility to guide ships safely into the Port of Accra. Today, it is not only a striking landscape on the coastline, but also a window to understand local history and culture. Tourists can climb the lighthouse to overlook the panoramic view of Jamestown and its surrounding areas, and enjoy the magnificent sea views of the Atlantic Ocean and the unique style of the city. As the opening hours of the lighthouse may vary, it is recommended to confirm in advance so that you can arrange your itinerary reasonably. The Jamestown Lighthouse is not only a paradise for photography enthusiasts, but also an ideal place to learn about the history and culture of Accra.Ghana · Accra

Labadi Pleasure Beach is a coastal leisure landmark in the capital of Ghana, with a natural canvas of 3 kilometers of golden sand and the rippling waters of the Gulf of Guinea. Beach volleyball nets are set up on the soft sand all year round, and kayak and water ski equipment rental points are distributed along the tide line, providing a variety of options for tourists who are active or quiet. The shallow waters near the shore are flat and reef-free, suitable for family and children to play in the water, and there are safety buoy isolation belts in the professional surfing area. The seaside promenade is lined with painted parasols and rattan lounge chairs, and local artists often perform traditional drums here. The open dining area under the shade of palm trees serves freshly grilled seafood and Ghanaian red banana rice. The sound of the bartender mixing roselle ice drinks complements the rhythm of the waves. At the beach bonfire party held at sunset every week, visitors can improvise with the Asafo dance team and feel the passionate rhythm of the West African coast.Ghana · Accra

Located in the central region of Ghana, Kakum National Park is one of the most famous tropical rainforest reserves in West Africa. The park was established in 1960 to protect this pristine rainforest and its rich biodiversity. The most worthwhile feature of Kakum National Park is its canopy walkway, a 333-meter-long suspended walkway consisting of seven suspension bridges. Visitors can observe the rainforest ecology up close, experience the thrill of an aerial walk, and overlook the lush forest landscape. The park is home to a variety of rare wild animals, including African forest elephants, giant forest antelopes, and yellow-backed blackbucks. In addition, it is a paradise for bird lovers, including endangered species of global concern. More than 600 species of butterflies have been found in the park, some of which are newly discovered species. Kakum National Park is not only a popular destination for ecotourism, but also a symbol of nature conservation in Ghana, attracting adventure lovers and natural researchers from all over the world to explore.Ghana · Twifo
