Kokrobite Access |

Drive from Accra West towards Cape Coast. About 25 km West of Accra you'll see a lake on the right side of the road. Once you've passed the lake a small dirt road branches of to the left. Follow this dirt road for 6-7 kilometers. After 6-7 kilometers the roads ends at a T-intersection. Turn right and follow the signs to "Big Millies" (about 300-400 meters from the T-intersection) |

Additional Surfing Infos |
| | You can catch the waves right in front of "Big Millies". Here the bottom is all sand. The point break (about 5 min. West of "Big Millies") is work the shorty work. However, look out for the rocks!
The only competition for the waves are with a few local kids with home made boards.

Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
There is great music (Reggae and High-life) at the bars in the area on weekends. And a cool laid-back atmosphere.
Paddling out at sunset together with the local fishermen in wooden dugouts is great feeling. |
| |
General |
For surfers living in Europe, Australia or North America Ghana is not the place to go for your next surftrip. South East Asia, Central America and the Pacific are far better than West Africa.
That said, if you're in West Africa, do bring your board (mini-mal or longboard) and you can enjoy some good surfing while you're in the region.
With some of the warmest ocean water anywhere on the planet, fun waves, no crowds and a chance to be the first person in history to surf secret spots, it is worth the effort of taking your board along with you! |
