Über diese Trap
Port Harcourt Tourist Beach, on Kolabi Creek off Churchill Road toward Borokiri, has long been described as run down, and state work to revive it began in late 2024 with sandfilling and the choice of an investor, followed by a redevelopment partnership in 2025. Do not build a sunset plan around it without checking first. Ask your hotel or a local whether access is open that week, and have a second waterfront or park plan ready.
