Every weekend, Lagos beaches such as Tarkwa Bay, Elegushi, and Lekki Beach come alive with energy. Friends, family, and loved ones gather, music plays, grills fire up, and the sand becomes a giant playground for everyone. But the truth is that many times, the same routine can get boring quickly. That’s why learning how to have fun at a beach party in Lagos requires more than just showing up.

In this guide, I’ll share 5 easy ways to level up your Lagos beach parties and make them unforgettable. From games to food, music to memories, comfort to safety, and smart gadgets for an even better experience, these tips will help you throw a beach party everyone will still be talking about long after it.

Pack Fun Activities

The truth is, a beach party without activities will have no fun. People may come to chill, but interactive games always bring life to the gathering. Lagosians love to socialize, and the beach is the perfect spot for both relaxation and excitement.

You should consider group games such as:

• Beach volleyball
• Football on the sand, or
• Frisbee.

These group games don’t require expensive equipment, and they get everyone involved.

For those who want something lighter:

• Sandcastle competitions
• Water races, and
• Storytelling sessions

Are some activities that will keep the fun going.

Additionally, I encourage you to mix activities so that both introverts and extroverts find something they enjoy. For instance, one session could be a volleyball game, and the next could be a chilled round of “truth or dare.” That balance will make the party inclusive. Honestly, nobody wants to come all the way to Tarkwa Bay just to sit idle.

Grab Snacks, Sip Drinks, and Chill

Can you imagine having a Lagos beach party without food and drinks? Abeg, that one no dey work. People burn energy in the sun, and you can’t keep them going without refreshments. Fortunately, you don’t need to stress yourself with complicated meals.

You can do the following:

• Pack easy-to-carry snacks like meat pies, puff-puff, suya, chips, chin-chin, or grilled fish.
• Pair them with refreshing drinks: soft drinks, juice packs, coconut water, or cocktails if you’re hosting adults.

The idea is simple: give people quick bites that will keep them energized while they enjoy the waves.

Talking about comfort: a proper chill zone will undoubtedly transform your gathering.  

Below are some simple tips:

• Lay mats, throw in a few umbrellas or beach tents, and create a shaded spot where people can relax.
• To keep things convenient, bring reusable cups, portable coolers, and a reliable charger for your devices.

This way, no one gets stranded with a dead phone in the middle of fun.

Bring the Right Tunes

Nothing sets the mood for a Lagos beach party like music. It doesn’t matter if you’re dancing to Afrobeats, chilling with soulful tunes, or vibing to Naija pop; music defines the entire atmosphere. You can imagine a beach hangout without a good sound system: people will sit around looking lost.

Before the event, I like to create playlists for different moods:

• Afternoon vibes: Afrobeats and amapiano.
• Evening chill: Soft R&B and reggae.
• Late-night energy: Naija party jams.

With playlists ready, bringing a wireless speaker takes the party to the next level. It fills the space with sound, keeps the music flowing, and makes every moment more fun.

Last weekend, I brought my oraimo SpaceBox 8W FM Wireless Speaker to Tarkwa Bay. I set it up near our beach blanket, and instantly the booming HavyBass™ filled the space—people couldn’t stop moving. Even with the sun blazing, the 1800mAh battery kept the party going for hours, and when I switched on PlaytimeBoost Mode, the music didn’t stop until sunset.

Some friends wanted to catch news and talk shows, so I tuned into the built-in FM radio—no internet needed. Whether we were jumping in the waves or chilling on the sand, the oraimo SpaceBox handled splashes effortlessly and kept everyone dancing, singing, and vibing all day.

With music flowing from a reliable wireless speaker, you’ll keep your crowd moving from start to finish. Honestly, without the right sound, the party no go sweet.

Capture Memories

What’s the use of a fantastic Lagos beach party if nobody remembers it later? Capturing memories is part of the fun. Nigerians love pictures, and with social media, documenting the event has become almost as important as the event itself.

Here are things to do to capture memories:

• Encourage group photos, funny candid shots, and dramatic sunset captures.
• Short videos with trending sounds also bring extra vibes, especially if you post them on Instagram, TikTok, or Twitter (X).
• Add local slang, hashtags, or Lagos street-style captions.

Your friends and loved ones will love it, and your followers will feel like they were part of it.

To keep people's devices alive, I never go to the beach without my oraimo PowerJet 130 27600mAh Smart Display Power Bank. With its massive battery, I can snap pictures, record videos, and even charge my laptop all day without worrying about running out of power. Imagine trying to take pictures and your phone dies. It’s embarrassing, abi? That’s why a good power bank is one of the real beach party essentials.

Stay Safe and Comfortable

You know Nigerians love fun, but safety and comfort are important too. Spending hours under the Lagos sun without protection can ruin the day.

So, I encourage you to do the following to ensure everyone's safety and comfort:

• Always carry sunscreen, sunhats, and umbrellas to shield against harsh rays.
• Hydration is also key. Pack plenty of water, juice packs, or energy drinks to keep everyone refreshed.

Another tip is to secure valuables. Lagos beaches can get crowded, and misplacing your phone, wallet, or car keys is easy.

• Use small lockable bags or
• Assign someone to watch over belongings.

Additionally, consider footwear. Sand can be scorching in the afternoon, so flip-flops or sandals will save you.

By taking these steps, you're guaranteeing that the fun won't turn into regret. You should remember that a safe beach outing is a successful outing.
