Labadi Beach, La Beach - La Accra, Ghana
Upfront: Labadi Beach is not recommended by us, in any way. Beside having to pay an entrance fee (Weekends even higher), Labadi beach is just weekdays somehow relaxing.
Never go there Weekends, except you prefer noisy and over crowded locations. There are only very few toilets, which often don`t even have water. Changing rooms and showers... Well, Well...
Monday - Friday MORNINGS till early afternoon are the best times for a beach visit. All kind of vendors and Reggae musicians (asking then for money, for their not requested "entertainment") will approach you, esp. when white. (Reggae music is not native to Ghana). |

Interestingly, Ghanaians and tourists alike, filling La Beach (Labadi Beach) in (La) Accra every weekend from early afternoon until late into the night.
Labadi beach is the only larger commercially used beach of Accra. The city beach is lined with different bars, beach umbrellas. You might enjoy freshly squeezed fruit juices, fried yam or grilled fish.

The main entrance to Labadi Beach is located just off Labadi Beach Road between La Royal Palm Beach Hotel and Labadi Beach Hotel.
Most of Accra's beaches are surrounded by shanty towns rather than pleasant promenades and fancy hotels - Labadi Beach is the only exception to this. EntertainmentEvery weekend, starting, there is disco, live music and reggae nights. Weekdays the beach often is less busy, and it is far more relaxing to sit at the beach bars, meet with friends and enjoy whatever entertainment is going on.

Unfortunately Labadi Beach suffers problems faced by many city beaches and is sometimes littered with rubbish, especially when the water is rough after it rains as the sea seems to churn up rubbish from the ocean floor, making swimming unpleasant.
All of below images where shoot during weekdays.
If you want to visit a pristine, secluded white-sand beach, you are better off travelling outside of central Accra to Kokrobite beach (accommodation available) or Bojo Beach resort.
Accommodation: Labadi Beach Hotel or La Royal Palm Hotel Entertainment: at La Royal Palm Beach hotel. Traditional Ghanaian restaurant, evenings with live music. (c) NOTE: All pictures (c) by EventPicture.co.uk and Ghana-Net.com
