Things to see and do Lagos

A popular beach on the Lekki side, Elegushi is the family spot of the weekend, popular with local Nigerians for picnics or to enjoy suyas and grilled fish at tables at the small local gargotes. Possibility to do a micro-balade on horseback along the beach, or to start a paintball game nearby. Be careful, if the place is very cheap, we were told that the price could vary according to the customer's head... to good hearer... Elegushi is also known for its clubs, crowded from nightfall on weekends.

A completely different atmosphere from that of its neighbour Tarqwa. More wild and natural with its few herbs that scattered over the sand dunes, it faces the blue ocean, with a few deckchairs and canvases stretched between four bamboos as a beach hut. The place takes its name from the small lighthouse at the end of the pier, and if you only look at it and the wind that shakes the waves, you could almost think you were in Brittany for a crazy second. That is forgetting the hundred or so cargo ships waiting to enter port. To stay there, different possibilities between Tarqwa and Lighthouse beaches, or inquire at Crocodile Smile Lodge directly on the ocean side.

Pretty beach with strong waves, on a stretch of land caught between lagoon and ocean, which can be reached by a nice boat trip. Various private resorts allow you to spend the day or weekend on the beach, most of which are quite expensive - or even overpriced. Everyone can pick you up by boat, but tight budgets will prefer to organize themselves, from the landing stage to Tarqwa (Jetty of the Napex car park). Among the local establishments, Inagbe Resort is quite affordable and offers canoe trips on the lagoon side as well as a pretty beach on the ocean side. Otherwise La Manga, Casa Ilashe, the private Pop Beach club, HOV Beach resort, Sencillo, Ilashe resort or the beach-house of the Jet-Ski Club, accessible to non-members for a fixed price. Do not go to Ilashe without first contacting an establishment.
