The Cape Three Points is the southernmost tip of Ghana and located between Akwidaa and Princess Town in the Western Region of Ghana.
Cape Three Points is also the land nearest to the Null Island1, an imaginary island at 0°N 0°E in the Gulf of Guinea. The point on earth’s surface where the equator meets the prime meridian.
I grabbed a few aerial shots of the area while nearby doing some unrelated work.

The Road to Cape Three Points
It takes roughly an hour to Cape Three Points from Agona Nkwanta via the Elobankatah Rd and the Akwidaa Newtown Rd through dense forests on rough dirt roads.
Hope it doesn’t rain when you do use this road!
