Busua Beach Resort

Located in the western coastal belt of Ghana, Busua is a small town which has a different feel from other towns and villages along the coast. The Busa Beach resort is a spectacular attraction which has a serene environment coupled with its gorgeous sandy beaches. A village called Busua is sandwiched between Butre and Discove which is about 30km drive from Takoradi in the western region of Ghana. Busua beach is one of the safest places along the Atlantic coast for water sports, and it seems to be one of the hotspots for surfing, where you can see fresh swaying coconut trees predominantly lined-up along the entire sandy beach, serving as a protective cover in the scorching sun. This makes relaxation more enjoyable mostly at weekends or public holydays where many activities are organized by the town folks to entertain visitors and other guest. As a regular traveler, I really enjoyed the place when I made my first trip to Busua , I had the urge to experience the numerous adventures while taking a ride on the South Atlantic ocean or taking part in other outdoor activities such as the beach walk and water sports. I and my two other colleagues joined the luxurious small local boat owned by the Busua Beach tour operators. Although, we felt a little bit jittery, we were very confident as we put on our safety jackets provided by the tour company. We sailed through to the inner waters of the South Atlantic Ocean which is about 10 nautical miles from the shore until we met very enterprising fishermen on sea who were harvesting their daily catch for sale. With the crystal-ocean kissing our feet, we made our way further into the deeper waters, where we saw different species of colored fishes. On the high seas, we met the Ghana security men with their patrol boat who signaled us to return to the shore since we were heading towards dangerous direction. After returning to the Shore, we took our lunch at the Beach restaurant and rested for almost two hours to regain enough energy for the next adventure. I took the local fufu and palm soup while my colleagues also ate some plain rice and vegetable stew. The food was reassuring and very tasteful as it was a typical local preparation with a sweet aroma. That was not the end until we made our way along the golden-white sandy beach which stretches without interruption to the distant horizon. About 2 km walk on foot, we enjoyed the usual cool breeze from the Atlantic Ocean; we also had encounter with no-one on our way unless the fresh coconut trees which were swaying from left to right as a result of the high breeze. Soon we had no choice but to return back after we felt exhausted and could no longer go further with the beach-walk. Busua boasts of a variety of hotel accommodation, small seafood restaurants, and a long sandy beach that is clean and safe for swimming and other water sports. In fact, Busua is considered to be one of the safest places along the Atlantic coast for water sports, and it seems to be one of the hotspots for surfing: there is even a ‘Black Star Surf Club’ at the beach. Local shops are available for purchasing souvenirs, renting surfboards, and renting bicycles. The town roads are well suited for cycling. Busua has several well-trained local tour guides: For more enquires and Bookings, contact FKF horizon Consult +233-24 3566 315.
