Labadi beach, pleasure beach or LA beach, as somebody call it, is the most popular beach and prime venue for relaxation in Accra. It's an organized stretch of beach where you pay 5 Cedis to enter. In return you get a clean beach and no locals use it as a toilet.

Labadi beach is far away from a tropical beach with white sand. The water is a bit unclear or muddy. The sea temperature is cold to be as far south as Ghana is, much colder than in Kenya or Tanzania. Instead you will find a beach with a lot of restaurants and bars. Sunbeds and tables with sunshade are free of use if you buy drinks or food. Acrobats, jugglers and fisherman provide the entertainment. And of course the beach has its vendors and salesmen offering you crafts, paintings, copy sun glasses or copy whatever it is. At night there is live music, most of it quite good. Thursdays and in the weekends are party time in the evening. The Beach is a hangout for singles looking for fun, and business girls looking for a male company.

On both side of the beach you find hotels La Palm Beach Hotel and Labadi Beach Hotel.
