Surf, Sun, and Serenity: A Lagos Beach Adventure

When the allure of Lagos Island’s beaches called, I couldn’t resist. Join me as I explore the vibrant Moist Beach Club, the serene Tarkwa Bay Beach, and the luxurious Inagbe Beach Resort for a day of sun, surf, and adventure.

A Day at Moist Beach Club

The moment I set foot on Lagos Island, I knew I was in for a treat. The vibrant energy of the city was palpable, and the promise of a day filled with sun, surf, and sand was irresistible. My first stop was the Moist Beach Club, a place that had been on my radar for quite some time. As a former professional surfer, I have a keen eye for beaches that offer more than just a pretty view, and Moist Beach Club did not disappoint.

The club was buzzing with life, a perfect blend of locals and tourists all soaking up the sun and enjoying the rhythmic beats of Nigerian music. I found myself a cozy spot under a palm tree, ordered a refreshing cocktail, and let the ocean breeze wash over me. The waves here were gentle, perfect for a relaxing swim or a leisurely paddleboarding session. I couldn’t resist the call of the ocean and spent a good hour riding the waves, feeling the familiar thrill of the surf beneath me.

Exploring Tarkwa Bay Beach

After a rejuvenating morning at Moist Beach Club, I set my sights on Tarkwa Bay Beach. Accessible only by boat, the journey itself was an adventure. As we sailed across the azure waters, I couldn’t help but marvel at the stunning views of Lagos Island from the sea. Tarkwa Bay is a hidden gem, a serene escape from the bustling city life.

The beach was a paradise for water sports enthusiasts. I joined a group of fellow adventurers for a snorkeling session, exploring the vibrant marine life that thrives beneath the waves. The water was crystal clear, and the colorful fish darting around the coral reefs were a sight to behold. After snorkeling, I took a leisurely stroll along the sandy shores, collecting seashells and soaking in the tranquil atmosphere.

Unwinding at Inagbe Beach Resort

As the sun began to set, I made my way to Inagbe Beach Resort, the final stop on my Lagos beach adventure. The resort was a perfect blend of luxury and nature, offering a peaceful retreat from the day’s activities. I was greeted with a warm welcome and a refreshing drink, the perfect way to unwind after a day of exploration.

The resort offered a variety of games and activities, but I was content to relax by the pool, watching the sun dip below the horizon. The sky was painted in hues of orange and pink, a breathtaking backdrop to the end of a perfect day. As I sipped on my drink, I reflected on the day’s adventures, grateful for the opportunity to experience the beauty of Lagos Island’s beaches.

This trip was a reminder of why I fell in love with the ocean in the first place. The thrill of the surf, the serenity of the sea, and the vibrant culture of Lagos all came together to create an unforgettable experience. I can’t wait to return and explore more of what this incredible destination has to offer.
