Cape Three Points is a small peninsula located in the Ahanta West Municipal District in Ghana’s Western Region, forming the southernmost tip of the country. It lies between the coastal village of Akwidaa and Princes Town, near the Gulf of Guinea. The area is significant for being close to the site of Ghana's oil discovery. Cape Three Points is also known for its historical lighthouses. The first lighthouse was built in 1875 by the British to guide ships through the Gulf of Guinea, and although the original structure is now in ruins, a larger, functioning lighthouse was completed in 1925. Cape Three Points is sometimes referred to as the "land nearest nowhere" due to its proximity to Null Island, located at the intersection of the equator and the prime meridian.

Found in the western part of Ghana is this wonderful site of the 3 Cape points and a lighthouse.An Extremely fascinating view n great relaxing atmosphere. I even rented a boat from the local fishermen and did a cruise for whales watching n luckily found one. Carry along food n drinks since there isn't much to buy around Or visit the escape lodge thus few kilometres away for accommodation n food for another great experience too.

“Two roads diverged in a wood and I – I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference” yes the road is nasty for almost 20 kms specially if it has rained. So before starting to drive on 4x4, you need to decide whether you want to drive alone or with some friends who is ready to face some adventure. The place is very beautiful and you can see some beautiful sea waves. There is one lighthouse. Explore, stay around relax. Nothing much ro eat around, carry on your food. 2-3 hours is enough to stay there or if you have more time visit escape 3 lodge.

The history behind this place, has to do with the three capes available and this particular place happens to be the one in the middle which has a lighthouse built there. The lighthouse helps the fishermen find their bearings back to the shore. This place has been well kept till date.
