Based on my traveling experience thus far in life, including to third world and developing countries, I have always seen the ocean or sea as an exotic or luxurious place. I've traveled along, eaten, and slept near the ocean or sea in Chile, Spain, Peru, and Costa Rica. There have always been nice restaurants, hotels and homes lined along the beaches of these countries.
After driving along the coast many times in Ghana, I have an entirely new perspective of the waterfront. It is still exotic and luxurious, but not because of the prices of the homes that line it, but because the water is majestic, beautiful and powerful all by itself. The beauty of the buildings and the property no longer distract me, and instead I am able to see the exotic where it truly is….the water- in all of its wonder, mystery, depth, and power. All of the pictures above are homes and communities directly on the Atlantic ocean all along the coast Cape Coast, Ghana.
