Labadi Beach, or more properly known as La Pleasure Beach, is the busiest beach on Ghana’s coast. It is one of Accra’s beaches and is maintained by the local hotels. Labadi Beach is in a town called La, popularly known as Labadi, near Teshie in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana.
An entrance fee is charged for those not staying in the hotels. On holidays and weekends, there are often performances of reggae, hiplife, playback, and cultural drumming and dancing. As of 2014, the beach is still under intense community scrutiny to address the ongoing issue of open defecation there. Proposals to build additional designated sanitation facilities to address the issue have been brought to the attention of the local council and hotels near the beach. Aside from visiting the beach to have fun, people visit the place early in the morning to work out, mostly on weekends.
