Kokrobite Beach is a long beach on the Atlantic coastline, consisting of several areas, covered with white sand. The beach is surrounded by coconut trees, creating a pleasant shade and serving as a source of coconuts. A sloping entry into the ocean, warm water and soft surf make the beach even more pleasant.
Huts with roofs made of palm and coconut branches were built on the beach for the convenience of visitors. It is possible to take a break from the midday heat and keep on file personal items in storage. When resting at Kokrobite Beach, visitors can:
- sunbathe;

When is the best time to go?
In Ghana, the year-round temperature is between + 24- + 32 degrees. You should remember, that in January-February, dry winds from the desert blow from the north, although their influence is almost imperceptible on the seashore. There are rainy periods in Ghana in spring and autumn, so the best time to visit is summer or winter.
