The beach is located on the shore of the Gulf of Guinea on the Atlantic Ocean; the Alaska Beach Club is a popular retreat for backpackers and those in search of a quiet beach away from it all.
In addition the beach has camping facilities, and some simple bungalows, plus showers and toilets.
It is next to the Busua Beach Resort where some visitors take time out to rent Sea-Duo’s and other watercraft.
Alaska offers traditional Ghanaian food on demand and the restaurant at the Busua Resort features a wide selection of seafood and other dishes.
