Shama, Shama · Western
A Portuguese-founded fort at the mouth of the Pra River, later a Dutch and British post, now a shell above the estuary.
The local tip
It is an easy stop between Takoradi and Accra, and the fishing village around it is as interesting as the fort.
Check before leaving
Confirm the gate is open, as staffing is intermittent.
