Cape Three Points

Western Region, Ghana
🏝️Remote🚶Difficult access

Cape Three Points is Ghana's southernmost point, where the coastline juts into the Atlantic and picks up swells from multiple directions. The beach break here is remarkably consistent, with SW swells wrapping around the cape to create fun, workable waves. The backdrop of rainforest-covered cliffs makes it one of the most scenic surf spots in West Africa.
