Located on a huge sand bar beach between Lagos and city of Benin. Go to the jetty close to the US Embassy on Victoria Island (Lagos) and ask the taxi-boats to take you to the shipwreck that blew up in Lagos Harbor back in 1998. There are no regular schedules, but chartering a boat for the day will cost you about US$50 (pay when returning). Bring loads of water and some food. The trip takes about 1h and takes you through Lagos harbor and the bush walk upon arrival takes less than 10 min.

The shipwreck is quite hard to reach, but once you get there, you will keep returning. The water is clean and the swell pretty consistent most of the year.
Best in Lagos area
