Ghana boasts captivating islands that draw in numerous visitors each year. Here are some notable ones:

Bobowasi Island
Nestled in Axim Bay of the Atlantic, Bobowasi Island is a stunning destination just 1.8 km from Axim town and the Axim castle.

The island derived its name from the incident, evolving over the years to Bobowasi Island.
