Fun Things To Do at Wave Beach
Wave Beach Family Park supplies an amusement-park vibe for all ages. I’ve seen both children and young-at-heart adults enjoying the rides, play areas, and spontaneous games. One standout: access to the park is absolutely free. It’s the best affordable family day I’ve experienced along this stretch of Lagos.
Join in on casual volleyball, football, and water sports rentals—perfect for fitness enthusiasts or anyone eager for active fun by the ocean.
Every corner is “Instagrammable”—from mural-lined walkways to exclusive cabanas, I recommend sunset shoots on weekdays for the best lighting and fewest crowds.
Expect legendary themed parties, live DJ performances, and curated events almost every weekend. Whether you crave Afrobeats, old-school classics, or energetic networking vibes, the calendar here is packed and diverse.
The Exclusive Beach House Retreat: Doo & Shima
Private, luxurious, and remarkably convenient—get a taste of Lagos’ coveted coastal lifestyle at the Doo & Shima Beach House. As a guest for a weekend retreat, I relished the quiet: two wings (Doo with 4 bedrooms and a private pool; Shima with 5 bedrooms and two pools), stunning balconies, an enclosed kitchen, your own chef, and full access to both the beach and venue staff. No boats or noise complaints—just drive in and unwind.
Wave Beach Event Hall (Hall of Odin)
Host a memorable celebration, conference, or wedding surrounded by water and skyline at the Hall of Odin. I’ve attended networking events and musical launches here; the hall is soundproofed, modern, and boasts breathtaking ocean views—making it among Lagos’ top picks for premium beachfront gatherings. To book, DM @wavebeachhall.
The London Pub: Your British-Style Beach Bar
Searching for a cozy seaside pub with a classic Lagos twist? The London Pub at Wave Beach fuses British bar staples with the area’s eclectic nightlife. Cold beers, pub food, and a relaxed, sporty vibe—especially lively during weekend football matches. To experience it at its prime, I recommend Friday and Saturday evenings after 6 PM.
