    • In 1674, the British built a small fort using more durable materials and called it Fort Charles, after the reigning monarch King Charles II. However, it was abandoned in order to concentrate efforts and costs on Fort Carolusburg at Cape Coast.
    These days they use it as a prison, but you still can find it on the beach in Anomabou town.

    • There’re less than 10 canopy walks in the world and Ghana has one. You can find it in Kakum National Park;. It’s a nice experience but an expensive one when you compare it with the rest in the country. The reserve has a variety of wildlife, 40 species of larger mammals: forest elephants, bongo, red riverhog, seven primates. There're 200 species of bird and about 400 species of butterflies. You'll find it along the the road Cape Coast-Dunkwa.

    • Fort Amsterdam is one of the many forts along the Ghanaian coastline.
    The ruins are on top of a hill near the town of Kormantse.
    This place isn’t a tourist hotspot, but you’ll always find a guide inside the building, who will tell you about the history of the fort.
    He’ll expect a small fee(5000cedi) for his services.

    • Ankasa National Park and Old Ankasa are situated near the Ivorian border, these two places are worth a visit. The National Park is a 500 sq.km. tropical rainforest area and the village is located on the border of the National Park.
    The people of Old Ankasa provide there needs with small scale farming, hunting, collecting forest products and even tourism.
    You can reach Ankasa National Park by road Elubo-Takoradi, get of at Sunkwa where you can see the Ankasa sign along the road. From there on it is a 6km. walk, or you can try to catch a ride.When you choose to walk, you'll come across several little bush-settlements.
