One of Ghana's oldest coastal forts
About this place
Fort St. Anthony in Axim is one of the strongest Western Region heritage listings for serious coastal-history routes.
Its age, setting and position along the Axim coast make it a powerful companion to Cape Coast, Elmina and the wider UNESCO-linked fort story.
Add it because it deepens the Western Region route beyond the more obvious Cape Coast and Elmina story. Axim also gives visitors a quieter coastal base.
Confirm entry and guide arrangements before visiting. The site may involve steps and exposed coastal conditions.
