The lighthouse itself is nice, but the area around it and the street of the lighthouse itself is extremely dirty and sketchy. There is a tourist information which was closed when we were there (Sat 1pm), so some random men approached us which were apparently „tourist guides“. Overall a pretty sketchy experience, so we left after 5min.

Jamestown Lighthouse was nice. In November of 2024 there were no tours. We visited on a weekday. The lighthouse and surrounding area is in need of a beautification project. It is sad to see this historical landmark in dire need of something.

Unfortunately it was closed in the evening when we came, but it was beautiful to look at from outside.

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.
