Things to do in Accra, Greater Accra: The Best Nature & Parks
Stretched along the Atlantic Ocean, Ghana's most populous city boasts glittering beaches, monumental buildings, museums, libraries, galleries, traditional markets and lively nightlife. Accra's architecture reflects its colonial history, with 17th century castles standing alongside modern skyscrapers. A veritable melting pot of cultures, the city's central financial and shopping districts contrast sharply with the less affluent residential areas surrounding the urban core.

... in the craziness that is Accra. Perched up on a hilltop, about 20 miles outside the city center, Aburi Botanical Gardens is an interesting, lovely place to stroll around and appreciate the tremendous diversity of African flora. Our guide Harriet, was sweet as could be, spoke English very well, and was very knowledgeable about the plants she was showing us. The tour was about two hours total. Afterward, we stopped at the ice cream stand for a nice, cool treat!

This popular beach is always packed on weekends. Best if you go late afternoon to evening. There are several different food vendors, bars, street barbecue stands, etc competing for your attention so customer service is super. There’s always music playing. If you’re lucky, some of the locals will do dance and acrobat displays I in hopes that they get some money. But it isn’t compulsory to pay. Sometimes the water comes all the way to the sitting area in the beach sand. I advice you don’t go when popular artists do shows because there’s too many people and security doesn’t match. Aside that, it’s my go to for night beach.
