About Cape Coast
Cape Coast is a fishing and university town on Ghana's Atlantic shore, home to a fort from which enslaved Africans were shipped across the sea.
Cape Coast grew around a fort on a rocky headland above the sea, and its streets climb the slopes behind the old harbour. Cape Coast Castle, first built by Swedish traders in the seventeenth century and later held by the British, is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Its dungeons and sea gate are visited by travellers from around the world.
