Even the most urban corners of Cape Coast hide pockets of nature for those willing to walk. Green spaces like Kakum National Park canopy walkway and Fort William offer a breathing room between landmarks — and some of the best views you'll find anywhere in the city. Seek out quieter retreats like Coconut Grove Beach Resort area for the calm that the busier parks can't offer.
