👍👍 This is a private part of the beach where you have to pay an entrance fee of 300fcfa. At the other end there are small shelters stuck to the fence close to the sea. A gate allows you to exit towards the sea and come back inside (a buffer as in a night box). What I did not like, however, is that as... People often mention beach, plage, relax, cool, pour, good, great, Obama, calm,

    (Translated by Google) This is a private part of the beach where you have to pay an entrance fee of 300fcfa. At the other end there are small shelters stuck to the fence close to the sea. A gate allows you to exit towards the sea and come back inside (a buffer as in a night box). What I did not like, however, is that as soon as the show's time approaches we close the gate to the sea. It was a bit annoying. So I mentioned the show: dance competitions with the audience and dance groups and other performing arts. Before the show there is always good music playing. All this is included in the meager entrance fee in addition to having access to catering under a large tent and to the open air and toilets as well as play areas. The two-seat swings are a delight for young and old! The service is also pleasant, with the exception of less courteous women. Oh above all, the beach is clean even inside the domain! Parking is also inexpensive (100fcfa for motorcycles, cars I don't know) For all these options it is really worth it !!! (Original) Il s'agit d'une partie privée de la plage où il faut payer un frais d'entrée de 300fcfa. À l'autre bout on retrouve de petits abris collés à la clôture proche de la mer. Un portail vous permet de sortir vers la mer et de revenir à l'intérieur (un tampon comme en boîte de nui). Ce qui m'a déplu par contre est que dès que l'heure du spectacle approche on ferme le portail d'accès à la mer. C'était un peu énervant. Donc j'ai mentionné le spectacle : des concours de danse avec le public et des groupes de danses et autres arts de la scène. Avant le spectacle il y a également de la bonne musique en permanence. Tout ça est inclus dans le maigre frais d'entrée en plus d'avoir accès à de la restauration sous un grand chapiteau et à l'air libre et à des toilettes ainsi que des aires de jeux. Les balançoires à deux sièges font le plaisir de petits et grands! Le service est également agréable à l'exception de femmes peu courtoises. Oh surtout, la plage est propre y compris à l'intérieur du domaine ! Le parking coûte aussi peu cher (100fcfa pour les motos, les voitures je ne sais pas) Pour toutes ces options ça en vaut vraiment la peine!!!

    A very very long sandy beach with huge waves. Highly recomended not to swim as you might get drowned or get washed away. Anyway it is a great place fo walking, running and just beach watching. It is a very very difficult life for the two fishermen trying to catch some tiny fish along the beach.

    Nature at it's best but the shoreline was really dirty. Debris deposited by the waves made the shorelines dirty; management should pay attention to it. The place is lively with a lot of activities and a construction work going on right in the left wing of the Obama beach space. Knowing non-french speakers visit here care should be taken in recruiting staff that understand English also.

    The Obama didn't impress me because it was dry and not many fun activities were present at the place unlike the Lagos beaches They need to improve the activities happening around them and also think of how to entertain children and adults who come to have fun. We didn't see any lifeguards around on the beach and they made me uncomfortable They need to create rooms for food vendors and other people to make the place live and bubbling. Though they've got a lot of construction going on around the place maybe it's the reason a lot of stuff is not in place

    Nice atmosphere. The beach view is awesome. Plus you don't pay to get in and enjoy the atmosphere. Has a mini children playground that could use a lot of improvement. I visit almost every month. Affordable drinks. But limited dishes

    It's really fun, a tourist place, it's calm. There's swing for children and also adult, you can play with the water (your limit) make new friends, relax and just have some fun. Best to go by 4pm or 5pm during the weekend. Goodluck.

    You will have plenty of space to lie down to sunbathe, relax, play some sports, eat, whatever you want, less bathing in the water because it is prohibited, due to its waves being dangerous. But you can admire the scenery and enjoy your stay because it is a very beautiful beach
