The beach was perfect - it was very long and quite spacious. I had the opportunity to visit it on a Saturday.

I stumbled upon this beach during the off-season and boy, was I in for a treat. The view was absolutely stunning. For those who can't stand the thought of wet sand, fret not, there's a wooden boardwalk to save the day. It leads to a quirky permanent resident's house that looks like it's straight out of a movie set. It's seriously wonderful. The water is so clean, you could probably drink from it (although we don't recommend it). Sadly, some people can't seem to grasp the concept of throwing their trash in the bin. C'mon people, we're better than that! But let's not dwell on the negative. The real highlight of this beach is the abundance of live shellfish. It's like a seafood buffet right there on the sand. Don't miss out on this amazing experience!

The beach is absolutely stunning! It's located approximately a 25-minute walk away from Lagos train station. When we visited in April, it wasn't overcrowded either.
