What is Aero Beach?
Aero Beach sits on the Lake Victoria shoreline at Entebbe, close to the airport, and is best known for its abandoned aircraft - a decommissioned plane and helicopter that children can walk around and photograph. The beach also has a set of statues, a bar and restaurant serving grilled fish, a bouncy castle and ice cream for children.
Entry is cheap - reported at UGX 5,000 to 11,000 per person, with children paying less - and the beach is open until dusk. It is a short, quirky stop that pairs well with the Entebbe Zoo and the Botanical Gardens.
The beach keeps the decommissioned aircraft as a curiosity and provides a cheap family stop on the Entebbe shoreline.
