Ibeno Beach

Ibeno Beach spans for roughly 30 kilometers along the Atlantic coast of Nigeria's Akwa Ibom State, from Ibeno to James Town. It is said to be West Africa's longest beach. Ibeno's gorgeous coastline offers a wealth of natural resources for tourism, water sports, beach soccer, and general boating.

The limitless white sand dunes that stretch as far as the eye can see along the Atlantic coast are unaffected by the raging surf. According to legend, Ibeno indigents first settled in the area around 1200-1500 BC.

Visitors seeking cover after sunbathing or strolling about the area will appreciate the attractive array of trees placed along the beach, which give excellent protection from the sun's scorching rays. The beach offers a panoramic view of the Gulf of Guinea, where strewn gas flares from ExxonMobil offshore oil facilities produce a dazzling display of flaming tongues of fire on the water.
