Fishing rules & seasons
Which Areas Flood
Where Cape Coast floods every rainy season, which season it is right now, and whether the weather model expects heavy rain in the next few days. Not a flood warning.
Visiting the castles
Hours, fee tiers and how tours actually start at Cape Coast and Elmina castles — walk in, wait for a group, no booking needed.
Visiting Kakum National Park
Hours, fees and how a canopy-walk visit actually runs at Kakum — the walk-in park most visitors pair with the castles, about 45 minutes north of Cape Coast.
Common questions
Festival dates and the ban window, water rationing, getting around, the castles, and where official news actually appears.
Who to call
Emergency numbers that are actually published, plus water, hospital, castle and assembly contacts — verified against official sites.
