    Explore cocoa plantations, hike in the forests, see humpback whales, take a guided night-time tour of the turtle nesting spots on the beach, visit the Cape Three Points, the southernmost point in Ghana.

    • 1 Cape Three Points Lighthouse (7.5 km west of Akwidaa on Akwidaa-Newtown Rd). Lighthouse at end of Cape Three Points, which is the closest land to 0 degrees latitude and 0 degrees longitude. It is a rough road en transit to here; may require 4x4. Also "tourist office" at entrance to cape will charge something like 5 cedis. But views are really phenomenal from the point.
