There is something innately amazing about Lagos, a bustling city in Nigeria with almost everything under the sun but the beaches here are something to write about.

Beaches in Lagos are widely run and managed by private entities. There would be nothing to talk about your visit to Lagos if you fail to spend some time on the beaches dotting the oceanfront mostly in Lekki. 

Where and which beaches to visit are the charming factors that stir your enthusiasm upon landing in this great city known for cultural fetes, book events among other things.

With a population of more than 36 million people, be sure to get a great feeling of a densely populated but vast city that winds up in the great blue waters of the lakes. The people here are friendly and they will pass down a thing or two about Lagos

Where to visit

One of the outstanding factors about Lagos is its proximity to large water bodies and the ocean in general. Without saying much, beach life in the suburbs of the city is incredible.

Imagine a holiday on an island tucked away near Nigeria’s capital, Lagos. Tarkwa Bay Beach is located near Lagos harbour but far from the hustle-bustle life of the Nigeria city. 

Tarkwa Bay Beach is the one zone in Lagos where adventure, peace and calmness reigns. Its island status makes it a top tourist destination in Nigeria. 

In retrospect, Tarkwa Bay Beach is a paradise compared to other beaches in Nigeria which are often crowded with a lot of activities going on. Tarkwa Bay is quiet, and the best place for a family to spend those good moments.
