Winneba, Winneba · Central
A working fishing town an hour west of Accra, with a harbour full of painted canoes, and the home of the Aboakyer festival, one of the oldest and loudest in the country.
The local tip
Come at dawn when the canoes land and the market behind the harbour is at full volume. During Aboakyer in May the town is transformed and accommodation disappears, so plan that trip months ahead.
Check before leaving
Aboakyer dates shift each year with the traditional calendar. Confirm before booking anything around it.
