Top Romantic beaches in Nigeria

Taking a stroll on the beach, letting the sand sift through your toes and the wind ruffle your hair with the taste of salt on your breath can be one of the most romantic experiences, especially when you are not alone. Even when you are, watching the sunset on a golden beach is enough to fire the senses and awaken desires you did not even know where there. Nigeria has some really romantic beaches which do just that for you. This list has some of the top romantic beaches across the coast of Nigeria that you can visit to have a great time.

Patigi beach

Patigi beach, unlike some other popular Nigerian beaches, is far away from the tides of the Atlantic Ocean. It is located along the Niger River, which is one of the longest rivers in Africa. This river cuts through the length of Nigeria from the north to the south where it joins in with the Atlantic. All across its length, the river flows wide and full, though at some spots, such as by the white sands of Patigi beach, the river flows with an idyllic calm. Lounge on the banks of this beach with your loved one(s) as you gaze across the lush vegetation and rolling hills in the distance. Fishermen can often be found fishing in the water, lending an essence to the river that is tranquil and relaxing, which all culminates in making this place one of the top romantic beaches in Nigeria.

Finima beach

Located on the Bonny Island in Rivers state, this beach, like any beach in Lagos, is mainly patronized by expatriates and residents on the island. You can find a lot of couples lounging on the beach but sometimes, you find them simply sitting on the bonnets of their cars watching the fiery glow as the sun sets in the distance. Visit this beach and watch the fire in your lovers eyes as passion reignites in the moment you share. This is one beach where romance awakens.

Asaba beach

The Asaba beach delivers an entirely new experience to beaches in Nigeria. The scenery is breathtakingly beautiful. Palm trees dot the white sands, coconuts swaying in the breeze. At different ends you can see rock formations where you can climb and sit with your lover. For a nice and romantic time with your lover, you can surf or play volleyball and other beach sports. And when you are done as the evening calls, sit in the bush huts to calabashes of palm wine with barbecued fish. This would be an experience neither you nor your lover would ever forget.
