Accessible only by boat across Lagos Harbour, this calm, sheltered beach is a popular escape from the city for swimming, surfing lessons, and beachside seafood without the rough surf of Lagos's ocean-facing beaches.

Know before you go

  • Boats leave from the jetty near Marina/Falomo — negotiate the round-trip fare before boarding.
  • The calm water, protected by the harbor breakwater, makes it one of the safer Lagos beaches for swimming.
  • Bring cash for beach-side food stalls and boat fares; cards aren't accepted on the water.
