Overview
West Africa’s ‘Golden Child’ is a serious let down. It’s voted #2 on Lonely Planet’s least favourite cities for a reason. Similar to the Gambia, people will regularly try to get into your pockets. The nightlife is the biggest disappointment, considering the population of nearly 4 million – even on a Saturday it’s underwhelming. But apart from the ugly sprawl, the hustlers and the nightlife, it has one saving grace – Labadi beach, one of the coolest hang outs in all of West Africa.
The Girls
If you haven’t already, I’d strongly recommend you read my article Sex in Africa 101 before continuing.

Ghana girls are fine. They’re a solid 3: Average, with the odd hottie. It’s hard to find cute faces but not hard to find good bodies. The good thing is they speak English. Foreigners are common place, so don’t expect girls to approach you as often as they do in other West African countries. You will have to do a little ground work, but with any effort you should find it easy to pick up. They are mostly Christian so many drink and are quick to go to bed. If you meet your girl at night take usual precautions. If she’s Liberian watch your ass. Take my nightlife advice to find middle class girls without hidden agendas.
The best place, by far, to find high quality women is a Labadi beach during the day. Every day here is a massive beach party and the atmosphere is infectious. Cute waitresses and sexy chicks in skimpy bikinis abound.
A city with nearly four million English speakers is ideal for pipelining. Girls with online profiles in Africa tend to be more educated and a little better off as well.
Nightlife Recommendations
Nightlife isn’t great to be honest. While we checked out several venues, I really couldn’t put many under the title ‘recommendations’. Avoid Macumba. Wakiki club is cool, but only on Monday nights. The Osu district is a popular night life area.
The Office Block
Everyone one knows the Office bar (mentioned in LP), but the key thing here is that there’s actually three venues all beside each other in this block. It’s attracts the best looking women, the middle classes and also horny expat chicks. This seems like the place to be.
Aphrodisiac
Located in Osu, this is Accra’s most exclusive nightclub. A little pricey but it’s got a classy clientele and worth checking out on the weekend.
Getting High
Where to buy marijuana: In all likelihood you will be visiting Kokrobite beach for a few days. This is by far the best place to score weed. Now, there has been reports of people getting caught by undercover police here. Be vigilant as penalties are extremely harsh. Expect hefty bribes or prison time even for a small amount. Only get weed off a bonafide Rasta; there are plenty around.
Prague Marijuana Prices: 10 cedis (€5) will get you a massive handful of compressed bushweed, about two weeks worth.
My Accra Experience
We were here 3 days. Man do I have a funny story from my first night in Accra, but you will have to wait for that one… It’s a story similar to the Blowjob Bandits of Hanoi, but this time I came out on top (well, kinda). All in all we found the nightlife kinda crappy. We only discovered Labadi beach the last day, it was awesome.

every guide you do, makes me want to do west africa more and more…
And the word is……….?
Just got back from Cambodia. Way better than Thailand. But Siem Rep was way more fun than Phnom Penh. UNICEF, Red Cross, and every other chick out to save the world seemed to be taking a break there to let loose at the time. Better buds too. Let me know if you need advice on where to earn a Kuwaiti, Bahraini, or Saudi Flag. Lived over here for a couple of years now. Hard flag, but possible, and usually very worth the risk(her father can legally kill you in some cases) Kuwaiti chicks are hot and usually prefer us Hicks and you Micks to they’re own.
Your posts always puts a smile on my face. Keep it up.
You have to, if you haven’t already, visit Cape Verde.
@Buc: Thanks man
@Trouble: Will do soon!
Awesome guide, now im curious about visiting Labadi Beach…
Have you ever been to Angola? id honestly love to see a guide of that.
[...] Bottom Line: Wicked hang-out. I’d score it higher if wasn’t surrounded by crappy Accra. [...]
Nomad 3 nights is not enough to check out Accra. For the record Aphrodiciac is about 20 minutes from Osu in an area called Jo Lu. Up until 2 or 3 years ago Macumba was a 10 year legend that really rocked. Jokers in Osu on Labadi Rd is good most nights but closed Monday. Bywel for live music in Osu is a place I’ve scored at many times.
Look here’s the real deal on Accra and why it can be very good—-foriegners not the white male kind from Europe and America—the black female kind from all over West Africa as well as the Ghanian girls. I’ve scored at least 10 different flags in Accra alone. They come here cause it’s peaceful and crime free—-tons of Nigerians and Liberians.
And for the record it’s those beautiful hot Nigrians that you might have a big money problem with in the morning—not so much the Liberians. Having said that

You can definitely score weed at the far end of Labadi Beach with the rastas as well as in Osu next to Macumba at California bar.
Thanks for the info man. It’s the only city in West Africa I didn’t really feel I got under the skin off..
Buck Dangler – How did you get your Kuwait and Saudi flag? Tell the story!
@buck: I don’t have those flags… yet.

liking these WA reports … accra is cool, or at least was a few years ago; some sweet ladies, lotsa cheap rocks to sharpen the urge; but ye, music not up to much in the clubs and my fond memories are of a core upcountry girl who knew how to get on the trucks and travel …
