Ibeno Natural Sand Beach

 

This beach is located in Ibeno Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State of Nigeria. It is one of the most outstanding natural tourist attractions in the State. The beach stretches over 90 kilometers of natural white sand bar along the Atlantic coast line of the State and provides excellent opportunities for water sport and ocean beach oriented tourism for Nigerians and foreigners. Its all year-round unfloaded clean sand banks which beams with coral reefs makes it very unique. The Mobil Nigeria Unlimited shares the same boundary with the beach close to its off-shore oil drilling operations. The company has a golf course there. Also, the beach is a potential haven for the Export Processing Zone (EPZ) tourism-thirsty expatriates, cruising to and from Calabar, the premier EPZ which lies closely to the north of the beach. It numbers among the top ten (10) soothing and hide-way reputable resorts environment nationally and regionally and is capable of commanding World tourist attention.

The beach needs to be developed into a tourist haven. Contact the Hon. Commissioner, Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Tourisms, P. M. B. 1177, Uyo, Akwa Ibom State; E-mail: koansie@yahoo.com.
