Tarkwa Bay Beach

Tarkwa Bay is an artificial sheltered beach located near the Lagos harbour in Nigeria.

[2] The beach, popular with swimmers and water-sports enthusiasts, also has a welcoming resident community.

The pollution around the Tarkwa Bay Beach area led to the development of different intervention activities to help protect the aquatic environment.

[7][8][9] The cleanup at the Tarkwa Bay Beach and other coastal communities resulted in the collection of over 180,000 pieces of plastics from the marine environment.

[10][11] In a bid to restore sanity to the environment and reduce pipeline vandalism, an eviction notice was served to residents in different quarters of the beach.
