A deserted beach, devoid of any pesky tourists (at least in September). The journey to reach this secluded spot is a bit of a challenge, involving some acrobatic feats over a wood way and navigating a dirt road. But once you arrive, prepare to be underwhelmed. This is the perfect place to sit in solitude, sipping on mediocre drinks and eating subpar food for a few hours. So if you're looking for a beach experience that is anything but extraordinary, this is the spot for you.

Although the descent to the beach may be a bit of a challenge, it is certainly worth the effort. It is important to exercise caution while making your way down. Once you arrive, you'll be delighted to find that the beach has a secluded and intimate atmosphere. I absolutely adored it.

Undoubtedly, this beach in Lagos stands out as the ultimate paradise! It's a hidden gem, untouched by the touristy hustle and bustle. The soft sand and crystal-clear waters make it a dream destination for any beach lover. The cherry on top is the fact that it's not crowded, thanks to its challenging access. So, if you're looking for a serene and tranquil spot to unwind and soak up the sun, this beach is the perfect choice!

It is highly advised to avoid attempting to access this beach through any other means than the designated staircase. Doing so can be both hazardous and ineffective. Instead, follow the wooden walkway until you reach the green metal fence, where a warning sign will indicate the location of the staircase to your right (refer to photos for guidance). Once you make your way down, you will be greeted with a serene and tranquil nudist beach, perfect for basking in the sun and taking a dip in the water, despite the presence of rocks and seaweed.

Wow! The journey to this beach is quite challenging, so it's recommended to avoid flip-flops. This may not be the ideal spot if you're looking to simply lounge around, as the rocky terrain may prevent you from doing so. Additionally, the waves can be quite large, requiring you to shift your position periodically. Despite these factors, the beach is not overly crowded, providing a peaceful atmosphere.
