The Best Beaches of Ghana, Kokrobite

Ghana has made a lot of progress lately and has become one of the fastest growing economies of the continent. But it lags behind most of its neighbours when it comes to attracting tourists. There are not many national parks in the country that can provide you with a stunning safari experience nor are there any resort towns that have the potential of becoming the tourist magnets.

But this does not mean that the country lacks natural beauty. The beaches of Ghana are some of the most gorgeous and yet unaltered ones in Africa and the reason is the low tourist traffic to the country. Take Kokrobite region, for example, it has some of the sandiest, whitest and softest beaches of Africa and yet you will not find the flocked with the tourists. Perhaps it is because of the lack of tourism infrastructure in the region but if you are ready to spend a few nights in a decent hotel not a luxurious one then you can have one of the best beaches of the world all to yourself.

Kokrobite has located about 30 km from the capital Accra and you can easily hire a car for getting to it. As for getting into the country, the best option will be to take a flight to Accra and there are quite a few flights available as it is one of the region’s economic nerve centres. Ghana is one of the safest countries in the continent with a very low crime rate and if you ask us this is its biggest attraction as you can venture to the most part of the country without taking any risk.

Korobite is not only famous for its beaches but also for the African Music Academy which is the biggest of its kind in Africa as one can learn most of the African musical instruments and dances here. The concerts arranged by the academy are a must visit for anyone who is interested in exploring the regional music and dance. The academy is also a place for lodging as the services in its hostel are quite decent and prices are cheaper than most of the hotels in the area.

The gorgeous Langma beach is the place where most of the tourists that do come to the area head to for relaxation and enjoying a peaceful vacation. Located close to a traditional fishing village the beach has a feeling of calm and tranquillity about it and this is what attracts the tourists. The sand is soft and surf is strong so whether you are there for relaxation or for enjoying a good surf you will get complete satisfaction.

The only major hotel in the region is Big Milly’s which a few years back was nothing more than a few wooden cabins but now they have included a few of the air-conditioned rooms and their low cost makes them an attractive place to stay in. You can join the local fishermen in their daily fishing routines or hire one of their boats to take you to the deep sea for sports fishing or just for relaxation.
