The Western Region (Sekondi-Takoradi as its capital) of Ghana is an integrated complex of beautiful safe beaches and African touch beach resorts. It has the largest collection of European trading forts (later used in the
slave trade); the highest tropical jungles; numerous mines,
and friendly people; and old architectural
styles and vivacious festivals.

The region’s water villages on stilts are amazing to experience.
A visitor can charter a local canoe out to the village and actually
stay over night in a guest house on the water.
The region is located in the south-western part of Ghana and
shares boundaries with the Central, Ashanti, and Brong-Ahafo
regions. To the West it shares a border with the republic of Cote
D’Ivoire.
The native people of the Western Region are mostly Akans,
speaking various dialects including: Ahanta, Nzema, Sefwi,
Wassa, Brosa, and Pepesa. Pricipal religions are Christianity,
African Aminism, and Islam.

The main exportable produce are cocoa,
timber, copra, coffee, rubber/latex, gold, manganese, and
bauxite.
