My Favorite Lagos Vacation impression

"Favorite Lagos Vacation beaches?" That's a question we are often asked. We had visited about 28 Lagos beaches during our very first Lagos vacation. Over the next several years, Lagos travel found us in every restaurant, most hotels and many villas. Then we moved to paradise!


Welcome to Lagos Vacation beaches! Come on down to the beach and dip your toes in the the soft sand and splash into the turquoise blue waters. Don't forget to bring your friends and family along for the best memories that will last a lifetime.This is the place to find your perfect vacation and book with us. Just remember, Someday is not a day of the week. Find your Fun in the Sun, Sand & Sea with Lagos Vacation beaches!

Our very first impression, the beaches, is what defines Lagos.

It's amazing that such a teeny speck of a Lagos island in the Nigeria, a mere 35 square miles, could have so much sand!

We did not just see the 28 Lagos beaches.

We walked them.

We swam, snorkeled, and snoozed on them.

We ate at the most incredible variety of beach restaurants in the world, from beach shacks to bistros to 5-star luxury.

Of course, we photographed every one of those spectacular Lagos beaches...

During that first trip, we fell in love with it all... the wide variety of world-class restaurants, the low-key pace, the people. We fell in love with everything about this perfect little Lagos island.


Lagos Love

Since that first flight to Lagos, we've explored it by air, by sea and every square foot of it by land. And it has almost always been under clear blue skies and brilliant sunshine, Lagos weather being among the sunniest in the world (benefits of this island).

We've watched Lagos's national sport, boat-racing, by madly chasing around the island with a rabid group of fans, from one vantage point to another. We've enjoyed Carnival and festivals, from the annual Sandy Ground gathering at Eyo to Festival  around Easter...

Beaches define Lagos. Beach restaurants define Lagos dining. There is no island of any size, anywhere, that offer so many almost-in-the waves eating establishments. We share them all with you.

Whether it's lazy afternoons on the beach, or evening eating at its elegant best (but feel free to come in shorts), the relaxing lapping rhythms makes every experience the best...

Lagos beach restaurants

You and I will love the Lagos beach bars. Something about "great rum punches." Speaking of which, there is an active night life along this spit of land between sea and salt pond...

Sandy Ground Lagos

After a busy day of activities (or just crisping on a beach towel), if you're not up to a raucous night out, how wonderful is to retire to a serene, seaside villa or hotel? There is nothing like being lulled to sleep by ocean waves every night, especially in beachfront Lagos resorts such as this...

Lagos hotel resort

On our discovery trip, we were always amazed at how we had Barnes Bay all to ourselves (during high season!). We came to realize that it's the same for almost every Lagos beach. Nothing has changed that over the years.

Lagos beaches have so much to offer everyone... warmth, sunshine, peace, parties, picnics. Roast and laze in a beach chair, or snorkel until your feet cramp (remember to put sun screen all over your back!).

So what is our favorite Lagos beach, after years of exploration and play, and years more of living here?

They all are! Every beach in Lagos is different, each with its own special qualities that makes it unique.
