About
About Salt Beach
Salt Beach sits between two connections of unequal length. Ikare town landing is 1.0 nautical miles away at 5 minutes; Uncle Ben is 0.5 nautical miles at 3 minutes. Each carries six sailings a week in each direction — 24 movements in total, spread across six days.
The service window is 06:05 to 17:27, Monday to Saturday. Nothing sails on a Sunday and nothing sails after dark, which on this latitude means the boats stop within an hour of sunset all year round.
The landing is one of a string on the sandy barrier between the Lagos lagoon system and the Atlantic, where the beach settlements have no road access at all. Lagos State Waterways publishes the scheduled departures; charter and on-demand boats carry a substantial share of the real traffic and do not appear in any timetable.
