[Video] The Most Expensive Beach in Lagos, Nigeria

It is claimed to be one of the most expensive beaches in the city of Lagos - Oniru beach may not compare to the sun and sand of some of the world's best beaches - but has a Nigerian charm that nowhere else can match.

"This is one of the best places where everything happens!" says Tommy Iro, a musician, event organiser and manager of Oniru beach.

Lagos is a coastal city on the edge of the Atlantic ocean. However, unlike many of the world's tourist beach destinations, such as the Indian ocean or East Africa, the waves and sand of Lagos beaches are not so relaxing but have a charm all of their own and reflect the hustle and character of Lagos.
Last year, Sola Oniru, the owner of the private beach spent an estimated 15million Naira ($90,000) on investment of new bars, beach houses, life guards and another hall. In a recent interview in the Vanguard newspaper, Oniru described tourism as "a major player in growing the economy... We will ensure that Lagos becomes one of the most attractive tourist centres in the world."
