06 Ene Surf at Cape Three Points: Ghana’s Hidden Surf Haven
Ghana has emerged as an unexpected hotspot for surfers, yet Cape Three Points remains a pristine, relatively undiscovered gem for wave enthusiasts. Nestled at the southernmost tip of the country, this wild beach is backed by lush rainforest and stretches for nearly two kilometers, offering a serene surfing experience without the usual crowds.
Reaching Cape Three Points is an adventure in itself. It’s a six-hour drive from Accra, with the final 40 minutes traversing a rugged track that can be particularly challenging during the rainy season. However, the journey is well worth it for those who seek to escape the bustle of more popular surf spots.
Once you arrive, you’ll be greeted by perfect point breaks and the chance to witness the majestic migration of humpback whales. For a more relaxed experience, you can enjoy swaying in hammocks under almond trees, sipping refreshing hibiscus juice, or simply soaking up the tranquil atmosphere.
The Escape 3 Points Ecolodge is the perfect base for your stay. Owned by Akwasi, a Ghanaian-Canadian with a background in sustainable architecture, this eco-friendly lodge blends seamlessly with its natural surroundings. The accommodations include raffia and bamboo-stilted chalets and a dormitory, all free from electricity and equipped with compost toilets.
A communal beach shack with table football provides entertainment for children, and a natural swimming pool is available at low tide.
