A Ramsar natural wetland site and lagoon with salt deposits. It is somewhat undeveloped but a good place for wildlife viewing, especially substantial bird migration activity during the European winters. There are also guided sea turtle walks and boat rides.
The Songhor Lagoon is a coastal lagoon on the eastern coast of Ghana, West Africa. The site covers an area of 28,740 hectares, and it is located just outside the major town of Ada and to the west of the Volta River estuary. It was designated as Ramsar wetland site of international importance number 566 on June 22, 1988. In 2011, UNESCO approved the Songor Biosphere Reserve as part of the World Network of Biosphere Reserves. Among several other important functions, it acts as habitat and/or breeding ground for several notable species.
