Mindful meoweler tips

Respect local customs

In Sekondi, it's customary to greet elders with a handshake and a right paw over the left paw. Keep the left paw behind your back to show respect.

Try local seafood

Being a coastal town, Sekondi has a wide variety of seafood delicacies. Make sure you try the grilled tilapia and jollof rice.

Take a stroll at the beach

Go for a walk and watch the fishermen bring in their day's catch. You can also take a dip in the sea or just enjoy the breeze.
