Among the notable landmarks is Fort Patience, a colonial-era fort built by the Danes in 1872 at Apam. The fort remains a symbol of the district’s historical importance and draws interest from history enthusiasts.

In Dago, a unique rock formation has become a local attraction. A large rock appears to be balanced on a much smaller one, sparking curiosity and folklore among residents and visitors.

At Mumford, the saltless spring of Ekoku continues to amaze tourists. Despite being located near the coast, the spring produces fresh water, making it a rare natural phenomenon.

Other historical artifacts include the metal walking stick of Asebu Amenfi at Gomoamaim and the slave chains used by colonial merchants at Gomoa Nduem. These items offer insight into the district’s cultural heritage and its role in Ghana’s history.

Tourism officials say that with proper investment in infrastructure and promotion, these sites could attract both domestic and international visitors, creating jobs and boosting local businesses.
