Disclaimer! I stand the risk of being slightly biased as I love being at the beach! Elegushi beach was an awesome experience. As soon as we got there, we paid N1,500 each instead of N1,000 to get in(apparently they had a music show we had no interest in attending). As soon as we alighted, we were instantly assaulted with a pungent urine odour emanating from a wall nearby, this was quickly forgotten by the time we walked to the water front. I was completely blown away!😁 And instantly started playing in the water waves, We took a lot of pictures, played and laughed! There were these water breakers made of large rocks that and arranged a few meters into the water, the adventurers in us decided to climb the stones to get a different view. We did and set out to cross the red danger sign ribbon( Dont blame us its called wanderlust). Then the funniest thing happened! This *Agbero* approaches us and says he was in charge of the beach🤣 and the clearly dangerous part of the beach we were hiking to is for Vip and we had to pay N1,000 each before going in, My friend replies "with when you jump into the water it becomes VVIP right?!!!😂" , hilarious banter ensued and he eventually obtained #500 from us, only for the real lifeguard/staff on duty, uniform and all to approach us shortly asking us to move out of the stones back to the shore, we did and ...(as an inside Joke), told him we had already given the agbero N3000 @1,000 each... he immediately ran after Mr. Agbero...where he was spending money he just obtained buying alcohol and marijuana. They came back together shortly and oga agbero started protesting the N3000, saying he collected only N500... staff asked him..why he collected any money at all while he kept of swearing and insisting his innocence... anyway we all eventually had a good laugh.. I also noticed a no of "bumbum shaking" video shoots going on around... We went there with a box of yummy @krispykreme donuts which was a great idea... I mostly enjoyed playing with the water waves... I didn't enter too far inside though.(I get mama we like me), I however saw this everly adventurous oyinbo that will jump into the water and wait for the waterwave to bring him back to the shore... this I watched in awe and total amazement from my very safe distance😯😲🙌.. It was fun to walk by the shore with the boo, the air was soft, fresh and sweet. The water view was obscenely beautiful. However, there were a few log of woods and debris here and there in the water. Would be nice if they payed attention to it.. It was a memorable and enjoyable experience and I would visit again.

The beach current is very high. Beware!!! Don't swim. No divers or wave current lines. Gate fee #2000 Is a #PrivateBeach ⛱️🏖️. More entertaining on weekends Saturdays Sundays. Monday to Friday less visit to the beach. Good place for #Hangout for friends,lovers and family #qualitytime. Background music available. Horse 🐎 rides available Photographer 24/7 Foods & drinks available. Evening time the beach is nice for #DateNight Since is a private beach you need to pay for seats. If you are going alone apart from gate fee seat reservation are negotiable. Roughly #3000 -#5000 can give you access to the beach. Visitors friendly. One of the most visited #beach in #lagos. Located along Nike art center road #lekki. Not disabled accessible because of the private beach demarcation. On a special arrangement with the owner they'll help you lift up your ♿. For the #depressed good time to access the beach is morning/ evening hours sunrise 🌄🌅 and sunset 🌇 so you can feel the nature. For fast healing. For visitors from #diaspora use Uber or Bolt app to access the beach and by the help of a #tourguide he/she can help you take your own photograph. #Hotel available around the beach. I will revisit again for more updates and new change. Follow me to see more travel destinations in Nigeria.

The atmosphere here was great. The beach itself is one of the most visited beach in Lagos. It's easily accessible as well. One of the kindest gift given to us by our creator, but too bad you have to pay before your entry. The Gate fee here is #1,000 although this fee needs to be scrapped as it is an illegitimate and illegal way of extortion of money from the public. The beach itself is lacking in infrastructures and maintenance. Millions of Nairas have been collected over the past years, but still yet money been collected has not been used to maintain and restore World class facilities to this beach. There is no presence of security life guards to help during emergency situation. There is no first aid medical center as well to assist should in case of emergency situation. !! Warning!! Please if you don't know how to swim don't go close to the water or even go near the shorelines for your own safety. When coming for a video or photoshoot Security here is not guaranteed so do well to provide yours as only yours can be more reliable in handling some difficult situations at times. Advise for Wheelchair users: You won't have a hard time as well getting close to the shores of the beach, but you want to be careful a little bit due to the sand that sink's in tires.

As a first timer in Lagos, one of the things to do on my checklist is visit the beach. I can happily say I have ticked the box. Elegushi private beach is located at lekki. It is a wonderful recreational center with something fun for all age grades. From a make shift Ferris wheel for children, to bars and clubs for adults. Since it is a private beach, a gate fee is paid before entry is permitted. Swimming is limited to just the shore (of course unless you have a death wish) and there are lifeguards, though you may not see them at first glance. The prices of food and drinks there are higher than the normal prices, so it may be better to come with your own drinks and mats and the likes. For kids, you could go along with a small bucket do they can build sand castles There is music already booming from the speakers of the bars, so bringing your own music is optional. So put your glasses on, sit back and enjoy the cool breeze of the sea shore.

I was at the elegushi Royal beach on saturday with the love of my life, actually visiting for the first time because I sort of have a phobia for water. But I must say the view is incredible. Now a few heads up; 1. The beach has two entrances , one official one which charges 2000 Naira for entry and another unofficial one that scope can get you in, because this particular gate doesn't belong to the beach authorities but the coastline company beside it. 2. The bars are numerous and cost adequate, so in case you wanna come ,come along with chop life money for the best experience. 3. There are horse riders ,which are super nice (the bar tenders are courteous as well) at a fee of course. 4. There is a basic bathroom around the back to enable you wash up after swimming. I paid 200 naira for entry, I might have been cheated, I really wouldn't know. In general I had an amazing time. PS: Beach proper starts by 2pm till dawn if you wish

Overview: Elegushi Private Beach is a popular beach where people come to play with ever flowing water. It has lots of side attractions like horse-ridding, roller-coaster, outdoor parties, etc. Gate Fees: The beach collects N1,000 per individual adult entrance and N500 for children below 10 years. Extra N200 for car pass. However, if you are good negotiator, you'll pay less for entrance fees. Security: There's good security in terms of touts coming to disturb your peace, and your cars are 80% safe while you're not watching them. While swimming at the beach, however, you have 10% safety, as it appears that you are mainly on your own. So, play with utmost cautions. Cleanliness: The beach is 95% clean and everything is well taken care of. Closing remarks: You should make sure you are at the beach at least once. You don't want to miss out on the fun and peace of staring at the rushing water.
