Barracuda Beach after Ajah, inside Abraham Adesanya, I really love that beach, The waves and the environment is superb

Jewessgratitud3:
See the beach name wey you go and you dey expect to see glory...

You didn't go to Alpha beach, Kuramo Beach
Takwabe beach or Laguna beach make you see glory.

Oniru kwa?

even takwabe beach don't have much waves again. since that Eko Atlantic city wall

If it's not a beach with the beach feeling... Na swimming pool be that.


I used to live in corniche apartment with my window facing the ocean. So everyday was a beach day. I would sit on the stone boulder that keep the heavy waves coming to land, and just watch the sunset every damn day.
Sometimes I just cry because I would be missing 9ja so much.
You've to be at a clean serene beach to understand this feeling. It was the best kind of Reminenscing ever.


So reading this topic and getting the exact opposite picture of my experiences I can totally understand.

Insert is a photo I took on the beach sand of the middle East!
Sadly I don't live in corniche anymore 😩, as I nearly drowned in 2 serious occasions and lost 3 high end phones to the salty water of the great beach in like 2 months 🤣

The beaches on the long stretch of okun Ajah
Is relatively priced low and you still get the beach feel .. Barracuda, Artican, corney island, vanilla beach, the country beach .. all are close to each other at okun Ajah.

Offpoint1:

Of all the beaches in Lagos I've visited, the only beach in Lagos that still have strong waves is Elegushi Beach. The rest are like man-made beaches.

La campagne Tropicana beach still remains the most beautiful.

try Barracuda Beach after Ajah and see confirm strong wind

vincentont:
Are there any beach in Ajah?

plenty' after Abraham Adesanya

AyoII:
Oniru beach is not so dope. Its like the ghetto beach of the area. You should have tried the good beach or others around. And true, you cant cross to landmark from there, thats another territory.

BEACH IN LAGOS has been destroyed. I grew up in Lagos and beaches were our rendezvous every December.

The average Nigerian man is very dumb and only cares about how to monitize everything and make his money at all cost.

Blame Okoro Savages...

[quote author=Uchemuch post=127735940]Landmark is overrated. It is no more as it used to be in the past..... More like a past glory thing... No waves at all, and you will pay for everything at high price and not taking in even water......
I am very sure that most beach around VI don't have that natural waves anymore......it's like a swimming pool, just stagnant.... The joy of a beach is to see that waves..... Instead go for any other beach in Lekki......

Not Only Landmark bruh... All the beach alone that oniru axis are waveless... Landmark, The good beach, Sol beach... Elegushi beach still better all those expensive and over priced beach in oniru... Imagine ordinary gate fee at The good beach goes as much as 7k per head

I work close to Oniru beach and i can tell you the worst part of it. The tour there are something else, hookup girls dropping from korope bus between 6:30 pm, homeless girls and boys disturbing motorist and selling all kinds of hard drugs to motorist and yahoo guys, the beach was so messed up, looking from the outside gate of the beach you would have observed the negativity of the beach.

I wonder why we have to make things hard in this country, Nigeria monetization with poor maintenance.

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

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?

Landmark beach is better though you may encounter overzealous staff, over crowded on weekend and festive period but its more cleaner, a bit expensive but well organized.

Badagry Beach still not bad.

Thank you so much.i have nothing more to add .for me it is the rough looking guys all over these beaches to hat used to be so serene.

The last time I went to that shıtty beach was last January, and I've vowed to never visit again.
1. Entry fee 2k.
2. To rent a space to accommodate your family and friends is like 20k, which even looks like a crowded marketplace.
3. Unavailable car parking, and 1k just to park your car.
4. Expensive food and drinks.
5. No sea waves or breeze, you'll still be sweating at the seaside.
6. No ambience whatsoever.

Even tried the famed landmark beach and I was freaking livid. Entry fee was like 2k plus, I went middle of the year, I think June/July. It was also a worse experience for me. You can not when think of bringing anything from outside the beach.

Their drinks and food are freaking expensive. One bottle of Henny cost ls 60k, space under that their firewood camp with white cloth wrapped around was 20k too, when it started to drizzle, we were drenched, people extort you for almost everything. You'll pay through your nose, chicken and chips bought for 6.5k was like begging them to give you food, crazily expensive food platter.

One thing I like about the landmark beach is that it's not overly crowded, good ambience, clean and neat too.

My best beach in this Lagos still remains Elegushi beach, you're free to do whatever you like, gate fee is 1k, car park is 5h or 2h depends on rapport. Renting a space for 15 people is 5-10k max, good ambience, lovely sea breeze and all.

I no dey pass ikate if I wan go beach, any other beach after ikate, I see them as traveling, last time I went to barracuda Beach at Abraham Adesanya, I vowed never to pass my boundary again. My car nearly sank in the sand.

Oniru is the worst of all beaches in Lagos.

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.

LoveJesus87:
@ where pls?

I think those beaches are around okun-ajah

As a tour operator/tour guide who often has to take tourists and vacationers to beaches and resorts, I can empathize with you. The monetisation of beaches, especially in Lagos is making them less appealing by the day

There are still relatively sane beaches in Badagry, and some parts of Lekki/Ibeju.

A few weeks ago, I decided to go to Benin Republic and experience at least one beach there. I was at Fidjrosse Beach in Cotonou and the experience beats Lagos hands down, in my opinion. Beach was clean; large stretches of sand as far as the eyes can see. Less litter and clean environment. And yes, entry was free.
The only challenge is that the CFA is now higher than the Naira in value. So, it's more expensive traveling there.

All beaches in cotonou are free from le belier to to havana to fidjosse, clean beaches, accessible anytime of the day. No harassment of any sort. Naija things are always terrible.

Sha most Nigerians are lucky i am not God him/itself

Let me be God one day and see if Nigeria will not become a paradise after exterminating all the riffraffs and miscreants spoiling this country’s image

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.

Wtf are you?

Omoluabi16:
I still prefer badagry beach.The one they call coconut beach, it feels the most natural.

Oh really?

ReubenE:

Takwa Bay beach is shit. The worst I have even seen.

If you are trying to hide from someone, you can go there though

@ the bolded 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yampotatocarrot:


Just spend 2k to cross to Benin Republic, the beach there is free, quiet, with all the nice things you desire... No one will tell you to come back again and again

But if you don't want to cross, just visit any of the beaches in Badagry, as in, any one... Although it's not free, but you'll enjoy the natural aura... Very neat also and friendly individuals... What even makes it better is that they separated the part the white garment folks use, so they don't disturb your flexing... Funny enough,some of them cross over to come and flex after praying for a while

I don't even fancy going to beaches during festive periods sef... I prefer going on normal days, not when all sort of human beings are there

Hmmm interesting take.

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

/The beach is now a bitch and finally ,otini iru]

Exactly my experience the last time I visited Landmark. Just a wave-less beach with terrible extortion.

One shed for my family, the guy was demanding 25k. Na so we waka till we went home

Go to Badagry to enjoy real beaches.

Worldkokoroko:
I have been to beaches in lagos, cotonou, lome, ghana and ivory coast.

My favorite two are labadi and kokrobite beach, maybe due to a funny experience i may add monogaga in ivory coast.

I normally think we Nigerians dont have this beach culture unlike our neighbors.
Kokrobite, you will just be seeing these ghana babes with big big bakasi rushing and cueing for banku and okra soup eith jist bikini.

Its 100 percent herbal and 90 percent bitter kola made without any side effects
#kokorokoman.

Nigerians are religious hypocritical than our neighbours regarding certain aspects such as wearing bikinis. You see people criticising girls for wear bikinis to pool parties as if they should have worn buba.

If you are willing to come to Badagry or go to Cotonou, let's plan a group trip. You will definitely enjoy it. Terms and conditions apply.

Let’s go 🤣🤣

Mummyfour:
What of badagry beach? Who has been there of recent?.
It used to be my family's resort spot those over 30 years ago, and that was because we lived around that axis Beautiful scenery, lush coconut trees and coconut fruits, very neat., Enough waves, quiet and not noisy like other beaches farther in town. Though we used to go to bar beach then .

I left Lagos so many years ago and would really love to know what badagry beach looks like. I had been telling my children that I will take them to Lagos from my present location so they could have a feel of beach life in Lagos

But this analysis is not encouraging at all. I can imagine my daughter's sharp mouth comparing the beaches in Lagos to what is every where else.
Once I was in Ghana and I can't remember the name of that beach now, but it was beautiful. We didn't get harassed or bullied by area boys and it was a fun time we had. The place was neat, enough foamy waves crashing every where. Chai it was really nice o

Let me know when you are ready to tour Badagry.There's a lot to see and do here; the beach is just one of the attractions. I can help plan your tour.
And yes, I'm based in Badagry.

Interesting comments.

So it is beaches in neighbouring countries then, not Nigeria. But I think the Ibeno beach is free of charge for entry.
