Lido Beach
Entebbe’s liveliest Lake Victoria beach, where weekends bring live music, grilled fish, and sunsets over the lake.
Lido Beach is on the west shore of the Entebbe peninsula, near the airport, and is a favourite weekend spot for locals. The sand is lined with bars, restaurants, and barbecue stalls. Try fried tilapia and local beer. On weekend afternoons there is often live music and beach activities, and you can also take a small boat out on the lake. The neighbouring Aero Beach has a similar vibe. Entry usually costs a few thousand shillings. Note that Lake Victoria carries a risk of bilharzia, so swimming is not recommended. Weekend evenings can be crowded and noisy, so keep an eye on your belongings.
