Patigi Beach

Located along the Niger River, Patigi Beach is not a typical sandy beach; instead, its beauty lies in its rugged terrain.^[2] The beach is popular with fishing enthusiasts and fishermen. Many species of fish are found in the river, including whiting, flathead, and bream.^[3]

The Pategi Regatta Festival boating event takes place annually and a pavilion complex has been constructed with facilities for visitors to enjoy the celebration.^[4][5]

The weather typically consists of the rainy season, the dry season, and the Harmattan – the interlude between the two – which is characterised by dry winds. During Harmattan, temperatures can drop as low as 16 °C (61 °F).^[6]
