Know before you go

Badagry is a coastal town and local government area (LGA) in Lagos State, Nigeria, serving as a lagoon and an Atlantic port. Badagry emerged as a commercial center on the West African coast between 1736 and 1851. Its connecting and navigable lakes, creeks, and inland lagoons acted as a means to facilitate trade and as a security barrier for residents. During the Trans-Atlantic slave trade, the town was a middleman between European traders on the coast and traders from the hinterland.
Fishing lessons are optional.
