Getting There

From Lagos head south along the road along the clifftop. Turn left when you come to a short road that leads to Restaurant O Camilo. (You can park at the end if you're in a car). Just before the recycling bins at the end of the road, take a track to the right that leads southward. Go past a little house and about the same distance again. Where the track turns sharp right, head south into a little hollow with some trees. Bear left and you'll find some stairs formed by planks cut into the cliffs. The beach is at the bottom. As of 2015 the steps in the soft sandstone are badly worn away, making access precarious, but still possible. Good fun, but check the tide tables. You also get a lot of small tourist sight-seeing boats out of Lagos pass the end of the beach having a good ogle! :-)
