Our favourite beach around Lagos. The sea definitely felt warmer than our closest beach in Luz! We were so happy here after feeling a little cramped on other beaches. So much space, beautiful sand and the opportunity to take a lovely, long walk. Easy to park here too.

We haven´t descended to the beach, just watch it from the top of the "falesia", a great view of the clear water beach and the "falésias" formations on both sides of the beach, Definitely worthwhile seeing it.

Small but still amazing and truly interactive. Staff are just so helpful and knowledgeable with perfect English and no doubt other languages. Can actually hold a variety of sea creatures. Dinosaur side exhibition has half dozen full scale animatronic beasts. Well worth a visit along with old church and square near by.
