Cape Coast is a city in Central Ghana.

[edit] Get in

Bus (Private or Public) from Accra.

Taxi is the best way and is very cheap by western standards.

[edit][add listing] See

• Cape Coast Castle is one of several UNESCO World Heritage slave forts along the southern coast of Ghana.

• Nzulezo Stilt Village in the middle of a lake is at least 2 hours away. Must See!

[edit][add listing] Do

Hang out on the beautiful beach under the Palm trees and watch the locals pulling in fishing nets and traditional boats.

Take a Global Mamas workshop on batiking, Ghanaian cooking, fishing, and/or dancing. globalmamas.org

[edit][add listing] Buy

Ele Emma, a seamstress on Aboom Wells Road, makes high quality tailored clothes. Prices are approximately GHC20,00 (U$19,00 - Aug2008) for a shirt.

Commercial Road has many great booths for small gifts-- one in particular has beautiful jewelery and beads. This, along with other stands along the road, offers better prices than the tourist stores in the Castle, and supports local economy.

[edit][add listing] Eat

The main street has many good eateries.

Cape Cafe on Commercial Road has great cheap food. With a friendly atmosphere, quick service, full bar, and a menu of both Western and Ghanaian food, it is a favorite of both tourists and locals.

Further along, just to the right of the fork in Commercial road (the crab monument), Ant's Rastafarian Health Food Store is a gem for vegetarians-- smoothies, veggie dishes, and even tofu are available there.

Walk in the alley way next to the right of Malcom. Then make your first right into the smaller alley. Then your first left past the fruit stand. And you will find a hidden local market. In here you'll find the best fou fou lady in town.

[edit][add listing] Drink

Excellent Outdoor Bar with traditional dancing and fire eating up the hill along the beach.

[edit][add listing] Sleep

Hostels/Guest Houses towards the beach are good quality and some have lovely roof bars also.
