lemondrop Says: I was the only foreigner around during the 2 days that I spent at the beach. Of course the local kids will go nuts over you, and if you have a digital camera and show them their photos...super nuts.
lawtrekkie Says: Head over to the Black Star Surf Shop for surfboards, boogie boards and more. You can rent or get a lesson.The guys there are great!
frankie10 Says: If you visit Busua, ask the local fisherman to take you to the Abowka Island. It´s a very small Island just a couple of hundred meter out in the sea.

African Rainbow: Fantastic Place in Busua
lemondrop Says: This is a fantastic place a short walk from the beach. The building is beautiful, rooms are clean and attractive, and most of the staff are very nice. For me there was just one problem, and that is the obnoxious noise and partying of a woman who stays there with her...
lawtrekkie Says: This place is great. Right on the beach, excellent food, the staff and owners are super friendly. My friends and I have been talking about going back since we were there. The front balcony has a fantastic view of Abokwa Island.

African Rainbow Resort: Price worth place
frankie10 Says: It´s a nice place with good prices. You can find places that are cheaper but if you lookin for good standard accommodation and food, I think the African Rainbow resort is very priceworthy. Nice staff, good food and the best pooltable in the area.
Restaurant at the African Rainbow: Great Food, Nice Restaurant

Alaska, Nana's and Peter's: Go local!!
lawtrekkie Says: These are all excellent places to eat. Alaska is a larger reggae bar along the beach. Peter's is a tiny place with about 3 tables. You need to ask how to find him and his place, but it's worth it. You put your order in for fish in the morning or the night before and you get...
Djamilla Says: I have felt like I was not in control of my own destiny only a few times; this happened in Busua. If you go swimming, please stay within reach of the ocean floor and do not underestimate the power of the currents. I thought I had control and was shoulder deep in the waters....
The unexplored Fort Batenstein
frankie10 Says: If you take 30 minutes walk from Busua to the neighbourvillage Butre you´ll find Fort Batenstein. It´s located on a high hill with an astonishing view over the costline.
Surfing-On a Real Board...or Plywood
lemondrop Says: Busua is a surfable beach, so if you have the itch, there is a surf shack here where you can rent boards. Of course you could do like the local kids and lay on a piece of plywood...watch out for splinters. The surf shack on the beach has a small variety of boards for rent....
lawtrekkie Says: Everyone in Busua is incredibly friendly. However, they won't become friends with you unless you reach out to them. They commented to us (three white girls) that they don't make friends often with the white women who come through Busua because the women don't talk to them....

Busua Beach i s located in the Western Region of Ghana about 40 km south of Takoradi. I think it´s one of the most beautiful beaches in Ghana and a good place stay if you don't want to spend to much...

The tro-tro from Takoradi to Busua was crowded. There was a baby saying ba-ba-boom the whole way and we were saying it back to her. Once we got to Busua, we were relieved. We'd spent 3 days on buses...
