Lagos Beach Club, Tarkwa Bay (accessible only by boat), and the iconic floating community of Makoko offer unique urban experiences found nowhere else on earth. The street food scene is legendary - suya (spice-grilled meat), jollof rice wars, puff-puff, and fresh grilled tilapia on the lagoon front define the flavour of the city.
