what is the position of cape coast on the planet earth?

Answer 1

Cape Coast, or Cabo Corso, is the capital of the Central Region of Ghana. It is situated 165 km west of Accra on the Gulf of Guinea. It has a population of 82,291 (2000 census). From the 16th century the city has changed hands between the British, the Portuguese, the Swedish, the Danish and the Dutch. The city was originally known as Oguaa.

Answer 2

As far as I am aware, there is no place on earth named "Cape Coast".

The definition of a cape is a portion of a coastline that extends further into a sea or ocian than most of the rest of a coastline, but doesn't necessarily need to be surrounded on three-fourths by water, like a penninsula would be, so there are thousands of capes along the world's various coastlines.

Calling a place "cape coast" would be as ambiguously redundant as calling something a mountaintop peak.

Perhaps you could provide some greater detail about where you are trying to find.

I can see from the answer provided by the contributor without a name above mine that Wikepedia thinks that a Ghanan city called "Cabo Corso" is translated into English as "Cape Coast".

Please note, however, that the same Wikepedia article begins with the caution that "This article or section does not adequately cite its references or sources." or that in other words, it might be giving false information.

Cabo is indeed both the Spanish and the Portuguese word for the English word 'cape', which makes sense as most of the Western African coast was explored by Portuguese and Spanish navigators long before the English ever even conceived of making a presence there, but, the word "corso" doesn't translate into either Spanish or Portuguese at all.

So, at best it is a poor English translation of the earlier Spanish or Portuguese, and it might not actually be where you had in mind, so unless it is this spot in Africa that you are trying to find, you might still want to add some detail.

You sound like a alien wanting to know where cape coast is so you can destroy the town and take over the world. 8^)
