Welcome to Busua, a charming fishing village nestled along Ghana's stunning coastline.
Out here, all is PEACEFUL. You are at the centre of the world, quite literally, and still far away from everything. 


As Ghana is located at the Equator, even the cold currents of the Atlantic Ocean cannot manage to lower the sea temperature to less than 24 °C. You can go surfing in Ghana at ANY TIME THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.



A six-hour drive west of Accra will take you to BUSUA - THE SURF CAPITAL OF GHANA.



Here’s an excellent beach break with waves breaking both right and left, and there is a fairly long stretch of shallow white water waves for beginners to practice in.

>> If you are a BEGINNER and you're afraid of harsh waves, then worry not, this place is great for you.

>> If you are an ADVANCED surfer and you want something a little more difficult, then you can explore the waters where the tide is called Black mamba. It is located 20 minutes away from the beach if you go paddling.

Busua is a popular beach break town for foreign volunteers and backpack travelers, yet the town has retained its fishing village charm. The atmosphere is welcoming and there are plenty of local options to eat, sleep, shop, and drink.

 

A FEW RECOMMENDATIONS…

Speaking of eating, an absolute must is OKORYE TREE RESTAURANT directly at the JB surf school. We highly recommend you, to ask for Lobster! You can’t miss it!

 

If you prefer vegetarian meals, visit KAYA‘S ITALS or LAUGHING GOAT for fresh and delicious dishes in a cozy atmosphere.

​

On Thursday evenings, join the fun at PAINT AND SIP AT AHANTA PALMS. It’s a great way to relax, enjoy a drink, and paint your own picture while soaking in the local vibes.

​

If you're looking for a peaceful getaway, AHANTA ECO LODGE is the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the natural beauty around you. Its calm atmosphere will help you feel refreshed and at peace with nature.

​

To experience local culture, visit the streets of Busua, where you'll find COLORFUL SHOPS selling traditional Ghanaian clothes, souvenirs, and handmade goods.
