Ibeno Beach - Nigeria

Stretched out next to the Atlantic Coast, Ibeno Beach is 90 kilometres of natural white sand, promoted as the largest stretch of beach in West Africa. Sunbathe next to the sea and enjoy blissful solitude as this beautiful beach stretches out for miles. You can come here for some peace and quiet, or if you're after something more lively, bring your friends and a picnic. Off-shore, coral reefs gleam in the water - snorkel around them, or take part in some water sports like jet-skiing. You can also find good surfing spots along this stretch of coastline.

Break up your visit with a trip to try food local to this region of Nigeria, like edikang ikong soup, isi-ewu (spiced goats head) or afang soup; made from the locally grown afang leaf.

This section of the Gulf of Guinea is very well maintained. A lot of investment has been put into preserving this stretch of coastline because of the off-shore drilling which takes place off the coast.
