The content creator has drawn inspiration from the famous Miami Beach in the United States, encouraging Ghanaians to imagine how Labadi Beach could be developed into a world-class tourist destination.

His posts come weeks after a demolition exercise on October 2, 2026, which saw several structures along portions of the La beachfront pulled down.

Fresh photographs of the beach show vast stretches of golden sand, beautiful coconut trees and an open coastline, giving the area a noticeably spacious appearance.

Creator draws inspiration from Miami Beach

In a Facebook post, Kojo On Purpose shared photographs of Miami Beach alongside images of Labadi Beach to highlight the development possibilities of Ghana's popular coastline.

The Miami Beach photograph shows an organised beachfront surrounded by modern high-rise buildings, recreational facilities and other tourism infrastructure.

The comparison presents an interesting picture of what Labadi Beach could potentially become with proper planning, investment and maintenance.

The creator also questioned what Ghana needed to get right to transform its coastline into a destination capable of competing with internationally recognised beaches.

Creator calls for redevelopment ideas

In another Facebook post, Kojo On Purpose shared beautiful photographs showing the current condition of Labadi Beach following the demolition exercise.

He subsequently invited AI designers to submit creative concepts showing how the beachfront could be developed.

The initiative offers an opportunity for creative minds to imagine modern recreational facilities, organised commercial spaces, attractive walkways and other improvements that could enhance the visitor experience.

The discussions come as attention remains focused on the future of the beachfront and its potential to become one of Ghana's leading tourism attractions.

Stan Dogbe speaks after Labadi beach demolition

Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported on Stan Dogbe’s explanation that the La beachfront demolition was carried out at the Labadi Beach Hotel’s request, not as part of the government’s flood mitigation programme.

The clearance included the Polo Beach Club, while a land ownership dispute and questions from the local MP have kept the operation in the spotlight.
