LIDO Beach in Entebbe is slipping back into promiscuity. Wild parties, body shots, and hot pant are common scenes at the beach. You will also see great nature, lots of beachside activities and find unique shells along the shore, but as dusk creeps in promiscuity comes with it.
At the enclosed beach, revellers who come with cameras are disarmed at the gates so that the ‘sinners’ can freely commit their sins.
Ganja smokers freely roam the beach while naked men and women play hide and seek in water. The white sandy beach attracts revellers who swim in the lake water. The visitors also enjoy the breathtaking sunset from the beautiful skyline. The beach is also ideal for family outings because of the easy transport to the place.
Those who can rent boats can explore the waters using powerboats. Those who like fishing can rent the gear from the beach management to catch some tilapia, which make the waters of Lido their home. These aquatic adventures make some lasting memories of the beach,
However, the beach’s services have remained rudimentary. The menu is only limited to beer and fried fish. The arrogance of the workers is annoying.
Recently, there was a beach volley ball tournament. This was concluded with a wild party at the beach.
Uganda dominated the ranks of the two-day Club beer-sponsored International Beach Volleyball Championship, but Rwanda made a mark when they lifted the men’s title for the first time. The tournament attracted foreign teams from Kenya and Rwanda.
However the Uganda teams won all the trophies in the women’s category with an all Ugandan final pitting top seed Milly Laker and Mariam Nakamanya against the seasoned pair of Dorothy Nampiima and Harriet Ssali.
In the men’s category it was indeed a sensational 70 minutes final between Rwanda’s Elie Mutabazi paired with Jean Luc Mbonyuwontuma against Uganda’s Luke Eittit and Amon Ainebyona. The Ugandans reached match point in the first set before, but the Rwandans forced a deuce opening up a tight start that ended in 28-26 in Rwanda’s favour.
The Ugandan pair returned with fury in the second set taking it at 21-17 to set up the tie-breaker. It was neck to neck all the way until Rwanda pulled a lucky two to win at 15-13.
Kenya’s two men’s teams were stopped at quarter-final alongside Rwanda’s three women’s teams. A total of 30 teams took part as Nile Breweries staked over sh3m in accolades and cash. The Champions shared sh600,000 while the first and second runners up got sh360,000 and sh200,000.
Club’s sales manager Lloyd Okiror presided over the awards ceremony. Uganda, Kenya and Rwanda have pledged to form a joint taskforce to formulate a master plan for beach volleyball in the region.
