Eleko Beach
The best beach for Lagos-based visitors is Eleko Beach, located
one hour away from Nigeria's frenetic economic heartland. It's
clean, has good waves and is a welcome relief from the grime and
congestion of the metropolis. Currently it is free of the traders
and hawkers that can irritate visitors on beaches around Lagos
Island. To get there, head out east on Lekki Expressway for about
19 miles (30km) and turn right at the Total petrol service
station.
Information & Facts
Language
English is the official language in Nigeria and is widely
used, though many other languages are also spoken.
Money
Nigerian currency is the Naira (NGN), which is divided into 100
kobo. Approved exchange facilities include the major hotels and the
airport, but official rates are very high. It is illegal to change
money on the street. Credit card fraud is a problem and visitors
are advised against the use of credit cards throughout the country.
Credit card facilities are also limited. Facilities for changing
travellers cheques are also very limited. Prior to travel, visitors
should ensure they have a variety of currency options available to
them (Sterling, US dollars or Euros) in cash. Travellers should be
aware of the prevalence of commercial fraud in, and emanating from,
Nigeria.
