Labadi Beach
La Pleasure Beach
Accra's liveliest city beach, with horse riding, African drumming, reggae, and seafood barbecues on weekends.
Labadi Beach, also known as La Pleasure Beach, lies next to the Labadi Beach Hotel. On weekends it is packed with locals and visitors, with horse riding, acrobatics, African drumming performances, and beach bars. Live music often plays in the evening. There is a small entrance fee. The waves and rip currents are strong, so deep-water swimming is not recommended. Vendors on the sand are numerous, so feel free to politely decline. It is about 15 minutes by taxi from Osu.
