Cannons at Cape Coast Castle overlooking the beach
Central Region

Car rental in Cape Coast

The castles, the canopy walkway and the beaches of the Central Region, a comfortable three-hour drive from Accra.

The most popular trip out of Accra

Cape Coast is about 145 km west of Accra, around three hours by road. For many visitors, and for families tracing their roots, it is the most important journey of their stay.

A typical day starts early in Accra, reaches Kakum National Park for the canopy walkway in the cool of the morning, continues to Cape Coast Castle and Elmina Castle, and returns in the evening. With an overnight stay you can add the beaches and a slower visit to each site.

A saloon car is enough for the road. Families and small groups often take an SUV or a 14-seater minibus so everyone travels together.
