Once more, it’s that time. In Ghana, December has returned, and the excitement is already growing. Afrobeats, laughing, and the aroma of grilled tilapia and kelewele fill the air as soon as you land. Ghana is unlike any other place in December.

The rivalry for attention from Detty December is intensifying this year. Although Lagos is attempting to use the name, let’s face it—there is only one original Detty December, and it resides in Ghana.

And it’s no longer limited to Accra. Yes, the capital still has the best nightlife, big events, and beach parties, but this year more people are travelling. Sunyani is attracting tourists with cultural exhibits, Kumasi is vibrant with street festivals and live music, and Cape Coast and the Volta Region are still popular destinations for leisure, adventure, and heritage.

Top Beaches for Relaxing, Dancing, or Lounging

Ghana’s beaches are ready for you in December, whether you’re looking for a quiet getaway or a celebration.

Labadi Beach– The centre of Accra’s beach culture is Labadi Beach. Attend for the energy, dancing, and drumming. Remain for the sunsets.

Bojo Beach is a serene and secluded retreat that can be reached by canoe across a lagoon west of Accra. Ideal for relaxing, savouring Chichinga (Kebab), and listening to music

Kokrobite is a laid-back section of the coast that is well-known for its art, reggae evenings, and positive energy.

Axim Beach features the gorgeous Lou Moon Resort, golden sands, and surf. Ideal for a little luxury away from the masses. Save money on a lengthy road trip by travelling with Africa World Airlines.
