Situated on Victoria Island, Lagos Bar Beach is where you can find Lagosians who are after sun and sand, and want it directly on their doorstep. If you don't fancy spending some time away at nearby stretches of sand, such as Lekki Beach, Alpha Beach or Eleko Beach, Lagos Bar Beach is a great alternative. Lined with bars and shops, visitors can also go swimming and horse riding on this stretch of sand - just make sure you're aware of the strong tides.

In the district of Victoria Island, this man made city beach is situated next to plenty of shopping centres and other attractions. You can also find fresh fish and souvenirs being sold here too, in Lagos Bar Beach Market. Also known as Victoria Beach, it was originally one of a series of naturally forming sandy bars which protect Lagos from the stormy Gulf of Guinea.

The beach is extremely popular, so get there early during festive periods to find a space.
