Accra, the capital and largest city of Ghana, is located on the Gulf of Guinea, an arm of the Atlantic Ocean. The city is situated partly on a cliff, 25 to 40 feet (8 to 12 meters) high, and extends northward across the undulating Accra plains. Accra lies in the southeastern corner of Ghana. The city experiences periodic earthquakes due to the area’s susceptibility to faulting.
