Top Attractions in Winneba
💡 Efua at the bead stall (third row, blue canopy) can show you how genuine recycled glass beads differ from new Chinese imports. Prices are fixed here – don't bother haggling.
💡 Ask at the nearby community centre for the caretaker – he lives two doors down and will unlock the gate for a small tip (5-10 cedis). Go just before sunset for the best light.
💡 Visit on a Saturday morning to see the fishermen bring in their catch and buy fresh tilapia straight from the boats. Keep your camera in a plastic bag - sand and spray are constant.
💡 Pick up the paper map at the Tourism Office (beside the post office) – it lists 12 numbered points of interest with short explanations. Start at 7:30 am to beat the heat and see the fish market at its busiest.
💡 Check their Facebook page for the monthly 'Open Mic Friday' – local musicians, poets, and comedians perform for a donation of 3-5 cedis. Bring a cushion: the benches are hard.
