Jamestown & Lighthouse
Accra's oldest neighbourhood: a working fishing harbour, colonial-era forts and a lighthouse with views over the city.
About Jamestown & Lighthouse
Jamestown grew up around James Fort in the 1600s and is one of the oldest parts of Accra. Walk past the fishing harbour and boxing gyms, see the street art, and climb the lighthouse for a view along the coast. It is best visited with a local guide, who can introduce you to the community.
