Parking space is great and the water front is good. You need to watch out for broken bottles everywhere. A good place for picnic and holiday.

Gberefu Island, also known as the "Point of No Return", is a populated historical island located in Badagry, a town and local government area of Lagos State. Symbolized by two poles slightly slanted towards each other and facing the Atlantic Ocean, the island was a major slave port after it was opened in 1473 during the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade era. As many as 10,000 slaves are believed to have been shipped from the island to the Americas between 1518 and 1880.

The Agia Tree Monument is on the site once occupied by the Agiya tree (Ogu dialect: Asisoetin). The Agia Tree was 160 feet (49 m) tall with a circumference of 30 feet (9.1 m). Remarkable for being the tree under which Christianity was first preached in Nigeria by Thomas Birch Freeman and Henry Townsend on 24 September 1842, the tree lived for over 300 years until it was uprooted by a storm on 20 June 1959. In place of the tree, an obelisk was erected in 2012 in celebration of 170 years of Christianity in Nigeria.
