It's quite interesting how the presence of rocks around a beach can add to its charm. In my humble opinion, the coastline of Lagos is unparalleled in its beauty. I am already looking forward to my next visit where I plan to explore the area with kayaks.

This beach is simply perfect, with its brown fine sand adding to its natural beauty. It's a great spot to relax and soak up the sun, and the clear waters are perfect for swimming and water activities. Overall, it's a wonderful place to spend a day or two by the sea.

That place is truly stunning and can be reached by wooden stairs. Additionally, the sand on this beach is a lovely shade of brown and has a fine texture.

In January 2022, I visited a beach with brown fine sand that wasn't too crowded. I was able to swim in the sea and sunbathe comfortably without being bothered by the wind. However, it's important to be cautious of falling rocks near the cliffs.
