    If you go with a local guide there, please be careful and confirm the price before you go!! The local guide in tourism information centre told me the tour is GH¢50 but once I finished my walking tour, he told me it's GH¢150 (US$10) because each site is GH¢50. I appreciate him for telling me history, but I also hope he could use part of the money to support the community as he said, not just only scam me. Overall, the place is worth a visit and tour guide also helped me gaining a lot of history knowledge about British Accra(Jamestown). You'll learn how British came here and did slaves trading around Jamestown fort in 1700s. However, if you want to walk alone it's free, but you won't be able to enter the Jamestown Fort. The below photos showed my whole tour that tour guide arranged.

    Just stopped by to take a quick stop to see this beauty . Took some pictures with my family walked around a little and back on the road. No one was there to give up more info of possible tours so we left. Beautiful picture we got to be honest. Quick stop. Enjoy

    The place has a nice tour guide who is happy to show you around and explain everything in detail. The money for the tour is donated to the school and its local projects. The fishing village is full of friendly, nice people. Had a great time there and recommend a visit to anyone who wants to learn more about the history and life of the people in Ghana.

    It would have been amazing to explore this historical place, but once we left our taxi, local "guides" jumped to us and they were very pushy and very rude. They didn't allow us to go downstairs too. Maybe one day this will be amazing place to visit, but not now. I will add pictures to show "reality", because some of the pictures looks nothing like this place, it's extremely dirty. It's a historical place, it should be kept better and respected way more.
