About this tour
This session walks Meia Praia, the long straight beach running east of Lagos' old town, a contrast to the cliffs and coves most visitors expect. You see the dune line separating the sand from the road, then the open beach itself stretching further than most first-time visitors assume. It is one of the quieter corners of Lagos, especially away from midsummer.
We start with a sound check at the dune line, then walk out onto the open sand for the second stop, taking questions about tides and the beach's length along the way. I send a short list of what we covered once the session ends.
It suits anyone who pictures Lagos only as cliffs and coves and wants to see its other side, and travellers deciding between beaches before their visit. This session covers the beach and dunes only, not any water activity.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide

Itinerary
-
Welcome and sound check 5 min
The guide joins the video call, checks the picture and sound with you, and gives you a quick sense of Lagos before heading out.
-
The dune line 21 min
The camera follows the dunes separating Meia Praia from the road behind it, and I explain how this stretch differs from the cliff coves closer to the old town.
-
The open sand 21 min
We walk out onto the open beach, and I point out how far it stretches compared with the smaller coves most visitors picture when they think of Lagos.
-
Your questions 9 min
Time to ask anything about Lagos: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
-
A short list to keep 4 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Grilled sardines and Old Town, worth a slower look.
