NIGERIA: Lekki: Elegushi Beach

About twenty minutes drive from the Lekki-Epe Expressway Toll booth, you will arrive at the Elegushi Beach (using Google Map, of course..totally forgot about Waze). But the road suggested was blocked by a housing estate which was still under construction. 

The route in blue from the main road to the beach, in inaccessible. Use the grey coloured route

At the entrance, there will be some people asking for entrance fee. Perperson was N1000 (RM 20.00) and children, half the amount. Negotiate... these touts (I doubt they are employed by the local government) were also mentioned in public sites like Tripadvisor. Troublesome... Then you reach another gate, N200 (RM4.00) for parking fee. Along the beach, there were wooden structures which were pubs and restaurants...and a single (I think it was) amusement park if you can all it. There will be people from all of these establishments crowding your car or call you over...urging you to come to their place...but just refuse politely. 

the beach

Life's a beach!

Beaches

Looking at the map, there must be hundred of kilometres of Nigeria coast between Benin and Cameroon overlooking the Atlantic ocean. 854kilometres in total

Atlantic Ocean...Sea of Atlas. The titan who held up the globe..I think that's why we called our geometry set, the Atlas set..I think. I remembered my dad called it Atlas set. 

Atlas set (google)

Anyway, its the second largest ocean after the Pacific and subdivided between North and South Atlantic.
