WHERE THE NAME 'BAR BEACH' CAME ABOUT.

Bar Beach is the main (inner city) beach and runs from the Institute of Oceanography in the west to the Eko Hotel in the East.

Bar Beach is named after the sand bars that characterized the coastline of Lagos, and not because of the myriad of bars that run along the beach itself (a popular misconception!)
 A walk along the new parade includes the occassional gust of cool Atlantic breeze and a light sprinkle of the white sand that lines the coast of Lagos.
