Sun loungers and palm umbrellas at Landmark Beach in Oniru
What to expect at Landmark Beach
Landmark Beach sits inside the Landmark Village complex in Oniru, and it is by far the most curated beach experience in Lagos. Think manicured sand, imported palm umbrellas, a paved boardwalk lined with restaurants like Shiro and Hard Rock Cafe, and a genuine kid-friendly vibe next to the more adult beach clubs. Live music every weekend, food festivals, and one of the only stretches of Lagos coastline where you can safely swim in a roped-off zone with lifeguards on duty. Expect metal detectors and a proper ticket kiosk at the entrance.
Strategy: buy tickets online through the Landmark Africa app to skip the weekend queue, then head straight to the shoreline loungers rather than the boardwalk. Weekdays the beach is quiet enough to actually read a book; Saturday afternoons it hosts food and music events that draw thousands. There are strong rumours the beach section may be affected by the coastal highway expansion, so check the site the week you plan to visit. Come hungry — the food strip is excellent.
