Coastal city in Ghana's Central Region — home to Cape Coast Castle (UNESCO), the largest of the slave-trade-era forts and a profound destination for African diaspora heritage tourism. Pace is markedly slower than Accra (3 hours east), with strong Pan-African connections. Population around 170,000. Kakum National Park (canopy walkway, 30 minutes inland) is the regional adventure draw. Wi-Fi is decent in better guesthouses; coworking is very thin. Ghana's eTA system is rolling out for most Western passports (replacing the old visa-on-arrival); 90-day standard tourist stay. Cost is 30-40% lower than Accra.
