Tema (Accra), Ghana Cruises

Tema (Accra), Ghana Cruise Port

Want to warm up this winter? Then you’ll want to head to Tema, which is the port city in Ghana just 16 miles east of the capital city of Accra. Tema sits along the shores of the Gulf of Guinea where the refreshing breeze welcomes arriving cruisers. It’s no wonder why the beach is such a popular place along Ghana’s coast line. The big city of Accra is home to a collection of cultural institutions and even further away from Accra is the game preserve of Shai Hills where you can spot some animals in the wild.

• Cool off at the Labadi beach where you’ll find lots of action from souvenir shops to restaurants and locals who drum, dance and offer pony rides.
