Bar Beach

Bar Beach is a prominent beach in Lagos, located on Ahmadu Bello Way along Victoria Island. It is notable for its sand and bars and stretches from the Institute of Oceanography in the west to the Eko Hotel in the east.

Concrete blocks serve as artificial levees to keep the Atlantic at bay, which frequently floods its banks in a hostile manner. Bar beach attracts people from all walks of life who come to enjoy the cool Atlantic wind on hot and humid days. There are no coconut trees or plants in the area, but fresh fruits are always on sale, so it's not a bad site for fruit lovers. There are definitely exciting activities for sport enthusiasts such as horseback riding along the shores, swimming, volleyball, beach soccer among other popular beach sports. On a beautiful day, you may be tempted to plunge into the water to swim or surf, but these activities are strictly discouraged because of the strong boiling currents.

Location: Almadubello way, Victoria island, Lagos.
