Why people love it
The feeling of this beach
The south coast's busiest beach — soft white sand, gentle waves, lifeguards, beach bars and rentals all on one easy strip.
What to expect
The shoreline, end to end
Accra Beach — most maps call it Rockley — is the south coast's most popular and best-equipped beach.
A long, soft, wide stretch with lifeguards, showers, food trucks and the boardwalk vendors at the back.
Waves are generally moderate, with a small offshore reef that gives boogie-boarders something to play with.
Plenty of paid loungers and umbrellas.
