I live in a not-so-developed town, but as developing as it is, it has good spots for fun and relaxation, depending on the vibe the person wants. Since it's a village that's well endowed with natural scenes, we have more nature-scene relaxation centers. We have rivers, I mean the normal river with good current flows passing through the village; infact my street is known as "Onoku Street"(River Street) because of how its extreme end has different opened rivers. Due to civilization, we've come to harness these river spaces and turn some of them into beaches.
Whenever it's Christmas, these spots become the buzzing spots in town. During the day, the scene would appear like a carnival ground.
The list of spots is as follows:

This is the top of them all. During Christmas, a lot of people come around this vicinity to have a view of the tiny source of the river. The community is well 'brained' enough, so they turned the environment into a club, a lounge, and an eatery. So it became an attractive and refreshing site for many.
For any nature lover and someone who likes to appreciate the wonders of God, taking someone to this place will surely make them appreciate it and possibly make it a "we die there" thing by having the best of the moments when taking good shots📸
The only thing that might chip in some unwanted mode is the big deity in the area, although it's fenced.
- The beach at the back of my street
When I was growing up, this beach at the end of my street was not so good, and that's because civilization had not stepped in at that time, but for now, it's in its class.
This beach has a very spacious land covered with green fields with cashew trees spotted in different areas on the field, and these tree shades serve as tents for families when they come for picnic.
The place has music 24/7 with drink and suya spots. The river is very neat, as it's being worked on regularly to make it welcoming for users.
This is the beach I'm used to because it's at the back of our street, and oftentimes I don't pay any fee to gain access to the environment.
The place is also welcoming at night, but it's not advisable to have a swim at night because it's a river and not an artificial beach. Unfamiliar water creatures come out at night.
But for the environment, yes, it's soothing to relax and have a breeze from the water with food, drinks, and music.
- Russel beach!
This one was recently implemented; I visited it just twice when I visited home in one of the previous festive seasons.
It looks more modern compared to others because the idea behind it is real.
This particular one has a hotel, a lounge, and very spacious land filled with white sands attached to the beach.
This one seems to buzzle a lot whenever there's a festive season, maybe because of its modern swag.
You see, my place is a beach-full area, and we make boast of it anytime.
However, as we boast about it, we are also ashamed of the bad occurrences attached to those waters.
Hey! I'm not scaring you; pay me a visit during this festive season and let me take the honor of taking you around on a good treat.
Thanks for reading.
