Jamestown
NEIGHBOURHOOD
Jamestown originated as a community that emerged around the 17th century British James
Fort, merging with Accra as the city grew. These days, Jamestown is one of the poorer
neighbourhoods of Accra but it remains vibrant. For a great view of the city and the busy
and colourful fishing harbour (haze and pollution permitting), climb to the top of the
whitewashed
lighthouse
(admission C5)
.
There are several boxing gyms in Jamestown that have nurtured a long line of local kids
into champions. You'll see plenty of posters around.
