• The Ada Estuary 

The Ada estuary is located at a place called Azizanya at Ada Foah, a town lying on the Atlantic Ocean Coast, east of Accra, on the estuary of the River Volta. There are about 25 beach resorts sited along the shoreline of the Volta River.
An estuary is a body of water formed when freshwater from rivers and streams flow into the ocean, mixing with seawater. Estuaries and the land surrounding them are places of the transition from land to sea and from freshwater to saltwater. Although influenced by the tides, estuaries are protected from the full force of ocean waves, winds and storms by reefs, barrier islands or fingers of land, mud or sand that surround them.

At Azizanya, when one stands at the estuary, the place where the waters of the sea and the river join, one can see the great force of this element, the different coloured waters fighting against each other, creating giant waves in the process. It is of interest to know that the estuary was recently dredged by the Volta River Authority (VRA) to allow continuous transition of the both the river and the sea.
