Beloved Steemers:
I recently visited Tarkwa Bay Resort with a group of friends. It was a holiday trip to mark to end of a successful year. I had no idea I was going to have a fun filled time at such a beautiful resort.
The blissful Tarkwa bay beach is located some kilometers offshore away from the ever busy Lagos Island. While cruising to the island on a boat, you will be treated to amazing views of popular spots in Lagos such as the Radisson Blu hotel, the Lagos Yacht Club, the Lagos harbour and straight head on into the atlantic ocean.
We took a speedboat from Marina, Lagos and that was my first time of being on a ferry in my life. The ride cost N2,000 per person (a round trip) and lasted for about twenty minutes. It was the most thrilling ride I have ever had and I was a bit dizzy when we arrived at the beach.
This was the first stop where we changed into something more appropriate for the beach. Entry into this booth cost N100.
I noticed there were lots of kids, locals, foreigners, goats and dogs. There was so much life around.
They were swimming, surfing, building sandcastles and other water sports.
Unlike most of the beaches I have been to in Lagos, Tarkwa Bay is pretty portable. This makes it very suitable for intimate evenings. I walked from one end to the other and I wasn’t tired at all.
They don’t sell food at the beach but it was not a problem as we went there with lots of food & drinks.
However, I saw a couple of traders hawking coconuts, biscuits and travel souvenirs. It’s thereby advisable to pack a picnic when visiting.
We spent some hours before leaving.
IMPORTANT TIPS:
- Go with a waterproof beach bag.
- You are better off going with your drinks even though these are sold on the beach.
- Make sure you establish the price of anything and everything beforehand. It’s custom to haggle, so know that they may try to overcharge you.
- Be prepared to rent beach chairs and covers, just try not to over pay.
- Don’t forget items such as towels, balls, floating pads etc.
- Avoid sun burns and remember to go with a sunscreen.
- Pack light as you will need to keep your personal items close to avoid theft.
Will I be going for another visit? Yes, If I get the opportunity. Next Beach on my mind is Whispering Palms, or Eleko Beach. Hopefully before the year runs out.

心爱的牧师：
我最近和一群朋友一起去了塔尔卡湾度假村。这是一个假期旅行，以纪念一个成功的一年结束。我不知道我会在这样一个美丽的度假胜地充满乐趣。
幸福的Tarkwa海湾海滩位于距离繁忙的拉各斯岛不远的几公里处。在乘船游览岛上时，您将被视为在拉各斯（Radoson Blu），拉各斯（Lagos）游艇俱乐部，拉各斯港（Lagos Harbour）以及大西洋海域直线的拉各斯热门景点的壮丽景色。
我们从玛丽娜，拉各斯乘坐快艇，这是我第一次在我生活中渡过渡轮。乘车费用为每人N2,000（往返），持续约二十分钟。这是我曾经遇到的最令人兴奋的旅程，当我们到达海滩时，我感到有点晕。
这是我们改为更适合海滩的第一站。参加这个展位费用为N100。
我注意到有很多孩子，当地人，外国人，山羊和狗。周围有很多生活。
他们正在游泳，冲浪，建造沙堡和其他水上运动。不像我在拉各斯的大多数海滩，塔卡瓦湾是相当便携的。这使它非常适合亲密的夜晚。我从一端走到另一端，我根本没有累。
他们不在海滩卖食物，但是当我们去那里吃很多食物和饮料不是问题。
不过，我看到一些贩卖椰子，饼干和旅游纪念品的贸易商。因此建议在游览时打包野餐。
我们花了几个小时才离开。
重要提示：
*带防水沙滩包。
即使这些都是在海滩上销售的，你最好不要喝酒。
*确保你事先确定任何东西和一切的价格。这是习惯的，所以知道他们可能会试图超额收费。
*准备租海滩椅和封面，只是尽量不要过度付钱。
*不要忘记毛巾，球，浮垫等物品。
*避免晒伤，并记得带防晒霜。
*包装灯，因为你需要保持你的个人物品，以避免被盗。
我会再来一次吗？是的，如果我有机会下一个海滩在我脑海里是耳语棕榈或伊尔科海滩。希望在一年之前用完。
