What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Elegushi Beach offers a dynamic experience with beautiful views and a lively atmosphere, especially at night. While many enjoy the vibrant energy and resort options, visitors should be prepared for multiple entry fees and potentially higher costs within the beach premises. The beach is a popular spot for both relaxation and entertainment.
"I’ve always had this idea, of beaches being free, a place to seat and enjoy the ocean. But for where in this Nigeria. They find ways every day to extort you and eat up your money. You’d pay to enter . When you’re inside. You’d pay for parking, the beach is sectioned, so to go to another side of the beach you’d pay like 10k for entry lol. It’s a crazy world. Avoid the beaches in this country, but if it’s your first time and you want to experience it then go for it . For the women avoid wearing wig to the beach, you won’t enjoy your self 😂"

"It was a nice experience using the 234 Loft. I had to pay for entrance at the main Elegushi Beach (2,000), then I moved on to 234 Loft, paying (5,000) as their own entrance fee. But the overall experience was nice, with the water view."

"We went to Athena Beach. N10,000 per head entry fee. Very good vibes. Great music. Delicious food. Really good service. Great waves and cool breeze from the sea. Well managed. Staff are well co-ordinated. We are going back in two days. Just be aware that there are other beaches in the area- collectively called Elegushi Beach"
