3. Busua Beach Resort

Busua beach is fantastic stretch of sand and clean, warm sea. Locals are super friendly and helpful without being intrusive, just always on hand if you need anything. Lots of great bars dotted along the beach where you can get the days catch cooked fresh.

Busua is overall a bit different from many other places in Ghana. Busua seems to have “grown” into a kind of tourism on a local level. You will find a lot of improvised shops, foods, juice-stands etc. You see more nationalities here than typically around Ghana.

I have visited Busia many times and it’s never exactly the same.
