Elegushi Beach, located in Lekki, Lagos State, is a private beach owned by the Elegushi royal family. Known as one of the best beaches in Lagos and Nigeria, it attracts nearly 40,000 visitors weekly, with Sundays being the most popular day. The beach charges a flat entrance fee of 2,000 naira, with discounts available for groups. Despite its popularity, Elegushi Beach has faced environmental challenges, including plastic and waste pollution. To address this, cleanup initiatives, such as the 2023 World Ocean Day cleanup by the Food and Beverage Recycling Alliance, have been organized to raise awareness about waste disposal and recycling.

Fun spot but there has been a lot of changes. 1. The place has been occupied by private beaches and they all have their respective entry fee 2. You pa 2k to enter Elegushi (entrance of the beach space) and this is exclusive of the entry per beach gate 3. They now charge corkage fee on food/drinks brought in. 4.Traffic out of the beach is crazy during the festive period . It's fun if you are leaving really late. In all, it's a fun place to be 😁

Locating the entry of the beach because of the ongoing construction was hectic.

The beach is dirty... with lots of seaweed at the seashore. It would be nice if they clean it. I don't want to come to the beach to walk/seat by the shore and it's dirt and seaweed that's washing up my feet.

a nice and beautiful place.. But the touts there could make it hell.. If you are going to a bar make sure they are clear of all charges and prices .. They are fond of hidden charges

I will advise everyone to stay away from Elegushi beach. The rogues there will frustrate you ...be sure to negotiate the cost for riding a horse too before you get into dispute with those hoodlums in charge of the horse ride. My worst experience ever. I do not recommend this beach to anyone. STAY AWAY!!!!
