Jamestown Lighthouse

Jamestown, Accra · Greater Accra

Climb the colonial lighthouse tower for the sharpest rooftop view over Ga Mashie, the fishing harbour and the sea.

The local tip

Stairs are steep and unshaded, so go before 10am and pay the caretaker at the base, not anyone who approaches you outside.

Check before leaving

Confirm the entry fee and opening hours on the day; the site closes for repairs without much notice.
