Butre beach

People who follow me on instagram have already seen plenty of vids and pics from this place, sorry for the spam! I just wanted to share this perfect location, if you ever go to Ghana and end up in the West, I’d recommend you to visit Butre & Hideout Lodge!

I wonder who built this bridge.
 A bit scary, but the only way to get to Hideout Lodge from the Butre community

French press-coffee for breakfast *drool*

Butre beach is right next to Busua, the beach & town I have posted about before.

Butre is just a bit smaller, and more remotely located. Which means, it’s super chill place, perfect for relaxing! I could l and finish my thesis here.. no distractions. Actually the swedish girl I met, was finishing off her Bachelor’s thesis at Hideout Lodge, can’t think of any better place for doing that!

We stayed at Hideout Lodge, fairly big lodge with sort of ”bungalows”, treehouses and dormitory rooms. The best thing about this place is, that there were hardly any people around, and that it is right next to the beach, or actually it pretty much is ON the beach. I love when you can hear the 

sound of waves when you go to bed, and wake up to the same sound. 

There are some activities one can do at Butre area, but we decided not to. So what I did, was layed on the beach, read my book, listened to music, walked on the beach and met super cute dog (highlight of my trip), met new people from Sweden, New Zealand and France, ate plenty, and also had few drinks which was niiiice! This is where I tried the Kpoo Keke for the first time, French/British guy, who has been here for quite long time already, shared some with us.

Weather was super warm as usual, we only got some rain on Sunday afternoon, when we were about to leave anyway. On Saturday evening the sky was  clear, accompanied by full moon and stars, so it was incredibly beautiful. Add ocean view and sound of the waves. P a r a d i s e. 

The only downside is that the waves at Butre beach aren’t good enough for surfing, so I didn’t get chance to surf on the weekend.. but I guess I’ll manage, it’s weekend now and I think I’m heading to Busua tomorrow, yay!
