NIGHT LIFE AT THE BEACH

Ghana faces the Atlantic Ocean and is blessed with some of the world’s most untouched beaches. Some are nicely maintained and are certainly among the most beautiful you will ever see. Most are places of work for fishermen who are happy to share the surf and sand with visitors. There are strong rip tides at many locations making a number of Ghana beaches dangerous for swimming. So always inquire locally before entering the oceans for swimming.

Tilt side locations along the coast can provide some stunning views of villages and beach below. Apam and Meree are a couple especially scenic hilltops. The third phase on my blog talks about night life at the Labadi Beach.There are a lot of beaches in Ghana among these are Ramada Resort Accra Coco Beach, Tawala Beach, La Palm Royal Beach, Bojo Beach, Kokrobite Beach and many others. Labadi Beach or more properly known as La Pleasure Beach is the busiest beach on Ghana’s beach. Labadi Beach is just 25km west of Accra; it is particularly popular during weekends.

It is a public beach located in La, at the western edge of Accra. It has a three-km beach front that offers wide variety of activities. The beach is blessed with strong winds. The wide expanse of this sandy beach is right for Frisbee, football and beach volleyball. Changing room facilities, restaurants, snack bars and shower rooms are plentiful on the beach. There is an entrance fee of 5 Ghana cedis for getting into this beach. Entertainment by musicians, performers and acrobats take place here regularly and there are always vendors selling crafts, usually at a significant mark up. A lot of people also organize night parties at the beach.

On holidays and weekends there are often performances of reggae, hiplife, playback, and cultural drumming and dancing. One can see people trooping to this place to relax their nerves after a hard day’s work and stress. There is a luxurious first class hotel inside the beach, uniquely combined with a traditional African style throughout, and is well equipped to meet the demanding needs of business and leisure travelers alike.

Long beach after dark is a world like no other; it is the hotbed of grooves and tunes to light up the night. Whether you are looking for a casual night on the town or something more exclusive and upscale, labadi beach has got it all. If you are in the mood for drinking, dancing, and an all-night party, join the rich, famous, and beautiful all you need to do is to get your groove on and join the train to Labadi Beach and you will never forget it.
