Accra is a relatively small yet busy city with many vacation spots, a lot to see, and exciting activities to engage in both in the remote areas and the capital.
Beyond the early morning rush, the heavy traffic, and the wild nightlife, the city has places to relax and relieve you of the stress and hustle of the street.
Waking up to the calls and chirping of the birds, and cars horning to mention a few opens up a whole new vista of opportunities during your holiday getaway.
If you are equally looking to catch the rise of a full moon, sending shimmering slivers of silver across the sea, or just looking forward to taking the hustle and grind of your head, here are a few locations you should consider.
