Escape the bustling city life of Lagos and immerse yourself in a unique 24-hour beach getaway on Tarkwa Bay, one of Lagos’s most beautiful and serene islands. This overnight experience offers the perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, culture, and connection — all wrapped up in the stunning natural beauty of a peaceful island beach.
Start your experience at a jetty in Lagos, where you’ll board a comfortable boat for a scenic ride to Tarkwa Bay. As you cruise across the sparkling waters of Lagos Lagoon, feel the fresh sea breeze and watch the cityscape fade away behind you. The boat ride itself is a relaxing and beautiful introduction to your island escape.
Upon arrival, you’ll be warmly welcomed to your private beach camp, specially prepared to ensure comfort and tranquility. Comfortable tents, rooms, cabins or suites (your choice!) await you, creating a safe and inviting space to relax and enjoy the stunning beach environment.
Once settled, the fun begins. Tarkwa Bay’s clean, sandy beach offers the perfect playground for a variety of activities. Whether you want to take a refreshing swim in the Atlantic Ocean, join in beach volleyball or surfing, or simply lounge on the sand and soak up the sun, you’ll find the perfect way to unwind.
For the adventurous, surfing lessons are available — no prior experience needed. Learn to ride the waves under the guidance of friendly local instructors, and discover the thrill of surfing on Lagos’s famous beach. It’s a fantastic way to connect with the ocean and challenge yourself while having fun.
If you prefer a slower pace, go on a beach walk to explore Tarkwa Bay’s coastline, spotting local wildlife and learning about the island’s history and environment. Or simply enjoy the serene atmosphere, capturing stunning photos or reading a book under the palm trees.
As the day winds down, prepare for a magical evening on the beach. Gather around a crackling bonfire, where the glow of the flames lights up the night and creates the perfect setting for connection and relaxation.
After dinner, retreat to your stay of choice for a restful night, sleeping peacefully to the soothing sounds of the ocean. Wake up to enjoy a light breakfast before spending your remaining hours at leisure — swim, stroll, or simply relax by the water before packing up. When it’s time, board the boat for your scenic return trip to Lagos Island, carrying with you memories of an unforgettable island escape.
