Cape Coast, Administrative center in Central Region, Ghana
Cape Coast extends along the Gulf of Guinea with beaches stretching for kilometers, while traditional fishing boats dot the shoreline near the central harbor.
The Cape Coast Castle, constructed in the 1600s and managed by multiple European nations, became a principal location for the trans-Atlantic slave trade until 1814.
The Fetu Afahye festival brings together thousands of participants each September for traditional ceremonies, music performances, and street parades through the city.
The central market opens daily from sunrise to sunset, offering fresh fish, local produce, and traditional crafts across hundreds of individual vendor stalls.
The University of Cape Coast maintains a botanical garden containing over 300 plant species native to the regional coastal forests of West Africa.
