Getting Around the Western Region
Travel in the Western Region is best planned by choosing a strategic base and exploring surrounding attractions by road. Takoradi and Sekondi-Takoradi function as the main transport hub, with the region’s best road connections, fuel stations, and services. From here, travelers can make day trips to Busua, Shama, Dixcove, and inland sites.
For a beach-focused experience, Busua is an excellent base. Staying here allows easy access to surfing beaches, nearby forts, and cultural excursions to Nzulezu. The coastal road links Busua with Butre, Dixcove, and Axim, offering scenic drives along the Atlantic.
Axim and Ankobra are ideal for travelers combining history and nature. From this area, visitors can explore Fort Saint Anthony, river excursions, and quieter beaches. Travel onward to Beyin and Half Assini connects you to Nzulezu and the western border.
Reaching Nzulezu Stilt Village typically requires an overnight stay in Beyin, Akwidaa, or nearby beach resorts, as the canoe trip is best done early in the day. Hiring a private car or using local drivers is the most practical option for reaching remote sites.
