It is located along Kolabi Creek, east of the Old Township district, and about 146 miles from Kribi in Cameroon.

It is visited by both tourists and residents, and it is one of the most popular beaches in Port Harcourt.

The beach was created to have a serene environment for tourists and visitors who can enjoy the white sands and waves.

[2] The Port Harcourt tourist beach has played host to several tourists and visitors from various parts of the world who visited the beach in the past, especially during the annual cultural fiesta of the state, popularly known as CARNIRIV, to watch the glamorous and exciting boat regatta organised by the Rivers State Tourism Development Agency (RSTDA).

The Port Harcourt tourist beach which was once a tourist's attraction has gradually lost its past glory, charm and pride of place due to the dilapidated infrastructure, lack of modern facilities, poor sanitary condition and so on.
