A beachfront resort in Busua, the Western Region’s best-known surf town, with board rental and lessons run out of the village itself.

Busua has grown into Ghana’s main surf town, with a wide, gently shelving beach that suits beginners as well as more experienced surfers.

The resort sits directly on the sand at one end of the village, within walking distance of the guesthouses, bars and board-rental shacks that make up the rest of Busua.
