"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!
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...

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.
