Why we recommend it

Sandbox Beach Club is one of the most fashionable places to drink in Accra, a beachfront venue on 4th Otswe Street in La where the city's style crowd gathers to watch the sun go down over the Atlantic. The look is warm and Mediterranean, with terracotta and lime-washed walls, an infinity pool and direct access to the sand, and the mood moves from relaxed afternoon lounging to a lively party as the evening goes on.

By day and early evening, the focus is on cocktails and food. The cocktail list is extensive and reasonably priced for a venue of this kind, and the kitchen serves a mix of European and South American-influenced dishes designed for sharing, such as lightly battered fish tacos and a gently spicy seafood rice. For a more serious dinner, Makosa, the pan-African restaurant on the same site, offers a separate and more ambitious menu. As night falls, groups tend to stay on, and evenings often end with dancing.

Sandbox suits groups of friends, couples, visitors who want to see and be seen, and anyone looking for a memorable sunset drink by the ocean. It also hosts exclusive events, so check its social media for what is coming up. It is less suitable for families with young children in the evening, when the atmosphere becomes more of a party.

The club is closed on Mondays. From Tuesday to Thursday it opens from 12:00 to 23:00, and from Friday to Sunday it opens at 12:00 and stays open until late. Reservations can be made online and are recommended for sunset and weekend evenings. Dress is stylish and beach-smart. Prices are at the upper end for Accra. In October 2026 the authorities cleared unauthorised structures from parts of the La beachfront, including La Pleasure Beach and Polo Beach Club, so check the club's channels for current opening before you travel.

La lies east of Osu along the coast, and taxis and ride-hailing cars are the easiest way to reach the club; give the driver the street name as well as the venue name. Arrive in the late afternoon for the best light, and arrange your ride home in advance on busy weekend nights.
