Fodor's Expert Review Busua Pleasure Beach

Make a day of sunbathing, swimming, and exploring at this beach about 32 km (20 miles) down the coast. The Takoradi–Tarkwa Road leads to Agona Junction. A left turn from there lands at gentle surf that's great for swimming. An outdoor bar and restaurant serves light meals. Chalets are available. Just 5 km (3 miles) away, you can discover the Fort Metal Cross, over which the British and Dutch fought for more than 200 years. Amenities: food and drink. Best for: swimming; walking.
