We were told, that lots of Accra´s waste ends up on the beach. Stefan and I took a taxi, telling the driver, that we are looking for a dirty beach. We ended up at “La Beach Resort”, were we had to pay Eur 2,- entrance fee.
The beach was packed with tourists, shops, a bar, lots of merchants selling clothes, CDs, masks, jewellery, food, horse rides or themselves (women and men).
The beach itself was quite clean, except a few water sachets and some plastic bags. Inside the water it looked different – you had to swim slalom between plastic bags.
So here somebody collects the plastic on the beach – but were are the “wild” beaches? We could not find, there was one expensive hotel after the other, with air condition, swimming pools and beach bars, wellness programs and plastic burning in the backyard. Entrance fee to the hotel beach for non-residents is about Eur 7,50.
We went to Sodom and Gomorrah again, some people recognized us, I bought some water from the girls and gave it to the workers, who use it to cool the hot metals.
A bunch of young men came running over the place, some of them had soccer balls and they started to play.
