Marina Resort

ParkWaterfrontFamily
Marina Resort sits along the Calabar River with manicured lawns, a slavery history museum, and food stalls under colored lights at night. Friday and Saturday evenings are best: live music, families out for a stroll, and snack vendors calling out their wares.
Local tip: Evening is best — locals jog, sell snacks, and debate football loudly. Ask someone about Enyimba vs Rangers.
