Ghana Beach and Sun Adventure

Looking for that perfect beach vacation without the crowds, mega resorts, and cruise ship stops?

Look no further. Ghana has everything you want in a beach vacation.

Have you ever wanted to have a beach to yourself only steps away from where you are staying and steps away from a cold drink and a great meal?
If so this beach vacation will not disappoint.

This trip is a great way to responsibly enjoy a relaxing beach vacation while also getting to know a foreign country. Ghana is not a place where you can be content to spend your whole visit confined in a resort. There is so much to see and do when you are not at the beach soaking up the rays. This great trip is planned so that each day you will get out in the mornings to see the sights and meet Ghanaians at a number of great destinations including Eco-Villages, Spiritual Shrines, National Parks, and colonial castles. There are even opportunities to get involved in the communities with volunteering.

Ghanaians are often described as the friendliest people in Africa. Combine this with amazing hospitality and the majority of the population speaking English it is hard to believe that the wonderful beaches you will experience on this vacation are not crowed with tourists. But lucky for you Ghana is an undiscovered paradise for travelers and often you won’t even see another tourist on a beach other than right in front of some hotels. With the exception of a few places in the cities (just like any major city in the US) it is safe to explore and walk around, and check out the surroundings.
