Busua is a beach resort and fishing village in the Ahanta West District of the Western Region.
It is about 30 kilometers west of the regional capital, Sekondi-Takoradi in the Gulf of Guinea.
Busua is classified in the category of towns with more than 5,000 inhabitants.
The inhabitants speak the Akan language dialect Ahanta.
Busua was until the 1960s a town with a tradition as a seaside resort for wealthy locals from Sekondi-Takoradi.
In the 1970s and 1980s, there was also a number of European tourists who visited Busua, although until the late 1990s there was neither electricity nor running water.
A small bungalow resort was the only tourist infrastructure and electricity in the town was occasionally available in the weekends from a generator.
In the early 1990s, the town and surrounding coastal area was affected by a disease in the coconut trees, so all these trees have now died.
What remains is a long sandy beach, along a coastline that is free of dangerous currents.
