This beach is an amazing spot with beautiful brown fine sand. I highly suggest getting there early as it tends to get crowded.

The spot is truly amazing with breathtaking views! The brown fine sand adds to the beauty of the place. It's a great spot for swimming as there are plenty of caves to explore and smaller private beaches to swim to. The water is teeming with fish, crabs, and other sea creatures around the rocks. The walk to the beach is also delightful. You'll find one or two bars on the beach or nearby to quench your thirst and satisfy your hunger. Just be careful in some areas of the water as it can be a bit rocky, so it's best to wear water shoes to avoid stubbing your toe like I did 😂.

If you're in a rush and don't have the luxury of planning an extensive getaway, this beach located just a stone's throw away from the city is a fantastic option. I highly recommend visiting it as it boasts some truly stunning scenery. However, it's worth noting that the water can be a tad chilly, so be prepared for that.

The beach is absolutely stunning! We had the privilege of witnessing the sunrise and had the beach to ourselves for a good two hours. Additionally, the sand on the beach is a lovely shade of brown and it's very fine.

While the beach boasts stunning surroundings, it falls short in comparison to other Lagos beaches. However, it should be noted that the beach has fine brown sand, which may appeal to some visitors.
