Top Attractions in Tarkwa
💡 Bring small notes—vendors rarely have change for 50 cedis. The basket weavers at the far end are the best value; a decent market basket runs 15–20 cedis.
💡 Buy a coconut from the vendor at the west gate—50 pesewas for a cold one. The garden fills with schoolkids at 3pm; go earlier for peace.
💡 Go just before sunset when the light hits the terraces and the dust settles. The security guards are used to people stopping—just be respectful and don't block the gate.
💡 Ask the stationmaster (he wears a blue uniform) if you can walk along the platform—he’s usually friendly. Avoid the midday heat; morning around 9am is quietest.
💡 The best pool for swimming is the middle one—cooler and less slippery. Bring a plastic bag for your phone; the spray soaks everything. Go on a weekday to avoid loud picnics.
