I believe that there is no country, both outside and within our states that doesn't have good sightseeing places for individuals to explore and experience the gift of nature. Even with my few years in Akwa Ibom, there are so many eye-catching places I have not yet explored. Closing my eyes right now, the only place I can think of is visiting Ebono Beach. This beach is one of the beauties of Akwa Ibom state, Nigeria.
Picturing this place with my eyes closed, I see a picture of a beautiful landscape where gentle waves with clear transparent water invite me to explore the beautiful sharp sand of Ebono beach. This is what comes to mind as I think about my dream trip.
Beaches are one place I love exploring, and we don't really have many of them in Nigeria unless you're talking about popular cities like Lagos and Abuja, among a few others. Ebono beach is a place I have been hearing about since my university days for its beauty and calmness.
The attraction this beach holds, coupled with it being the only single beach in the state, makes it a place my heart longs for. With so much I have heard about the place and my dream of always wanting to visit one day, embarking on this journey would leave an unforgettable memory.
One person I would love to embark on this trip with is my friend, Oluchi. Her love for nature is the number one reason, below is a picture of her cooling off in the beach and I have heard a lot from her about this beach. I remember there was a time I talked about visiting there to cool off with her and have that scent of salty water, but due to some challenges, that idea slipped from our minds.
Cooling off on this beach in Ebono wouldn't be a bad idea but an experience that would leave us filled with excitement all through the day. Akwa Ibom is a state we both will be leaving in few months, and exploring the cultural heritage of that region would be filled with so much fun and happiness.
I can't wait to visit Ebono for the first time, though it is still a dream, but it's one that will be actualized before our departure from the state. This is one adventure that would not just deepen our friendship but also leave us with unforgettable memories.
Knowing I have a place of natural beauty within is the major reason I chose this location as my dream travel destination. Having a friend within Uyo, I can explore this dream with is also another reason which makes it even more special. Lodging in any good hotel for a week and spending quality time keeping ourselves in the soft sand exploring the beauty of Ebono beach is my plan in months time.
