Some time at the beach

Have spent a few days at the beach in Lagos recently. The beaches are generally pretty dirty with an unbelievable number of plastic bags and other junk which has washed up on the beach from the filthy rivers in the region. Still it is possible to find stretches of beach which have been cleaned up a little and it is ok to spend some time relaxing....

Here are some pictures of some of the beaches; (Alpha Beach) which is a 20 minute drive from Ikoyi.... one of the roads getting there is a little diabolical, but it is a relatively nice place to spend the day.













Another beach (Tarkwa bay) is reached by boat with a 20 minute boat ride across the harbour.
