A local study of Winneba

Abstract

Winneba, situated between 50 19" and 5023" of North Latitude and from 0 035" and 004ltl of west Longitude, lies on the coastline, which consists generally of a low sandy foreshore, interspersed with shaggy rocks, on which the Atlantic swell beats unceasingly. Such a thing as an absolutely calm day is practically unknown; and usually a misty spray from the breaking surf floats on the water edge over the masses of scrub bordering the beach.
