Busua

Busua is a beach resort town and fishing village in the Ahanta area of the Western Region, about 30 km west of Sekondi-Takoradi. Widely considered Ghana's surfing capital, it has near-daily surfable waves — a beginner/intermediate-friendly beach break plus the more advanced Black Mamba point break — alongside an active fishing community whose boats can be seen returning with the day's catch.

• Busua Beach: A long Atlantic beach with rolling surf, backed by the fishing village.

• Surfing: A beach break suitable for beginners and intermediates, plus the more advanced Black Mamba point break offshore. Board rental and lessons are available locally from surf schools operating on the beach.

• Swim with caution — currents can be strong.

Busua has a range of beachfront guesthouses and a few larger hotels catering to the surf-tourism trade, from budget rooms to mid-range resort-style properties.
