Cape Coast is one of the most culturally significant spots in Africa, forever haunted by the ghosts of the past. This former European colonial capital, originally named Cabo Corso by the Portuguese, was once the largest slave-trading centre in West Africa. From the shores of this seaside town, slaves were herded onto vessels like cattle, irrevocably altering the lives of generations to come.
Today, Cape Coast is an easygoing fishing town with an arty vibe, fanned by salty sea breezes and kissed by peeling waves. Crumbling colonial buildings still line the streets, while seabirds prowl the beaches and fishermen cast nets where slave ships once sailed. Many travellers use Cape Coast as a base to explore Kakum National Park, Anomabu and even Elmina. (Lonely Planet)
