Oh really?

Enddy50ty:
If you are in Lagos and you want to enjoy the beach and it’s natural waves and vibes that comes with going to beaches, I’ll advise you don’t go to any of the beaches on Victoria Island.
Everything there is overpriced.
Just proceed to any of the beaches at Ajah and it’s environs.

DrAkpamudehe:


Pls Keep quiet,

. beaches are free in first world countries,

.and in south Africa.The only thing you pay for is parking if you decide to park at the beach car park when there are many free street parkings available.

folake4u:



Hmmm interesting take.

How can one use 2k to go to Benin Republic in Lagos please?

Turquoiseee:
I’ve never been to a beach before. Who will take me? I’ll get to wear that beautiful bikini I bought and have not had the chance to use.

@ the bolded 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

ReubenE:

Yes, Takwa Bay is the very thing the OP decried with the exception of clean sand.

Even the water is quiet like pond water with funny structures littered around the whole place

geezyk:
Okun Ajah na travel oo, after escaping orchid road wahala, you go now face sandy roads that once you miss the path taken by other cars, your car fit sink.

Oniru is a shadow of itself … elegushi beach still has that sandy long walk and beach waves

I still prefer badagry beach.The one they call coconut beach, it feels the most natural.

folake4u:



Oh my!!! And people still go there? Na wa.

What's the best Lagos beach, in your opinion?

From Iyana-oba (first gate) to Badagry is 1k... From Badagry to Seme is #300, then you trek... No enter bike o, just walk across the border compound (Any extra amount comes from you getting to Iyana-oba)

If the immigration ask for passport, tell them you don't have... You can drop #200 for them in the Nigerian side and #500 at the Beninoise side... Although you'll see people crossing also without paying more than #100 at each point... Shikena

Chevrolet076:
After more than 15 years since I visited a beach (Eleko beach), I anticipated seeing and having the usual beach feel of
strong roaring foamy waves,
very cold winds that can sweep you off your feet,
the wide expanse of water so wide and so blue that connects to the sky as far back as your eyes can see,
hundreds of sea creatures especially crabs running back into the sea as it recedes,
the freedom of trekking kilometers down both sides of the sea,
the non-existence of any foreign thing like tractors, restaurant etc close to the sea... Just the traditional dishes and feel.

Everything is so bad that I just felt I wasted money on overrated stuffs.

No roaring waves,
no cold winds,
swimming pool-like water waves and forced waves from the jet skis and boat l cruise.
Green colored sea filled with sea weed
Cans, bottle, food pack littering everywhere
Guys with intimidating looks smoking up and down
Loudspeakers playing useless music and disturbing the peace of the sea,
Almost non-existent sea shells. Except for few tiny ones
Tractors everywhere with security guard threatening you if you dare to cross over to landmark side
Sand heaped on all four sides of the sea making it look like a swimming pool. Imagine a whole beach o


Everything has been monitized and the beach is so small that it's choking.

You can only have fun by buying overpriced things. Boat cruise at 3k, horse riding for just a short distance at 2k per person, one tiny suya at 2k, entry fẹẹ increased to 2k as well.

If not for the other families that came with football which we started playing, what would my holiday look like?

It is well. I just think not everything should be monitized and milked so it loses its natural feel.

Felt so bad for nature. The beach's sadness penetrated through my bones

Has anyone experienced this? Any idea of a good beach that is still an actual beach?

ReubenE:

Atican is okay not because it ticks all the boxes. The sand is clean, the water is okay and you can take your stuff there unlike Landmark.
The only downside is the distance and roads around that axis is not very good.

I love beach noise and loud music so I still go to Oniru more often than others. It is easier for me to commute to and fro and manage the traffic unlike that Lekki axis since I live on the mainland.
If you don't like congested environment, don't go near that place

Lmao. I don't like loud music, or congested environment or smelly places as well.

Everyone's been going Badagry Beach, what do you say about that.

Phyde:

So how can i find my way to a nice beach from there and the cost?

Phyde:

Is Sultan beach different from Coconut beach?

ReubenE:

Haven't been there but I have seen so many people say good things about it. Would definitely like to be there to experience it first hand but I have not decided what to do with the distance.

Have you been there or any other one you would like to share?

iamclime:


Badagry Roundabout to Seme Border is now between ₦600 and ₦800. Some even charge ₦1000. The least you can get is ₦500 if you shine your eye.
You'll also pay the Port Health Services guys at the border ₦500 if you don't have the Yellow fever vaccination card, popularly called Yellow card, apart from paying Immigration.
And once you cross to the Benin side, note that the naira has less value than the CFA. You exchange more naira for less CFA.
So, plan well o.

folake4u:


Yeah, I've seen good reviews of the beach. I'd like to experience it too.

No, I haven't been there.

folake4u:


Thanks for this.

Must you take your passport for stamping? Is there any implications if it's stamped or not?

iamclime:


If you have the passport, you may want to go with it. Stamping it is also part of building a travel history.
I like to respect myself and avoid unnecessary hassles, so I travel with any documentation required.

Let me know when you plan to go and if you'll be interested in a group tour.

ReubenE:

Okay

When you eventually do, tell me about the experience.
I'm open to invitation though

folake4u:



Hahahaha.

Okay Sir.
