Walking
Tours in Lagos
Town
Waterfront
 We
really enjoy the diversity of this walk into the charming town waterfront.
You will also find that it is one of the longer walking tours, giving
a great early morning workout. So don't forget to set that alarm!
 Your
journey will take you past the unique roundabouts, by a tiny beach
cove, up to the hill top view of Meia Praia beach and down past
the historic monuments that grace the waterfront as you approach
the town front.
 At
the top of the hill towards town, take a small detour when you see
a sign for "Praia do Pinhão" and you will be so
impressed with this little jewel of a beach. As you make your way
down the hill into town, a beautiful marble boardwalk lines the
waterway. You also pass the old city walls with are lined with elegant
palm trees and another archway into the historic town. Continue
down the boardwalk which takes you to the other end of town.
  
 
At the edge of town and towards the end of the boardwalk, take
the pedestrian bridge across the waterway to see the fishing boats
and yachts, and don't forget to stop at one of the cafés
for a coffee or a cocktail! You will be amazed by the modern affluence
of the marina on your left and the contrasting bustling activity
of the old fishing docks to the right.
  
 One
morning we lingered at the fishing docks watching the colourful
boats come in and taking in the intense action as the fisherman
sorted their fish are called out orders to each other. It was a
highlight of the day!
