Tin Can Island
Tin Can Island, located in
Apapa, west of Lagos city center, is a crucial component of Nigeria's trade and
commerce. Established in 1977, this port handles imports, exports, and transit
cargo.
While
primarily an industrial area, Tin Can Island offers unique experiences. Visit
the Barnacles
Dolphin Centre to encounter Humpback Dolphins and learn about their conservation. Embark
on a dolphin-watching cruise for a memorable experience. Photography
enthusiasts can capture stunning coastal views on guided tours.
Fishing enthusiasts can enjoy the opportunity to catch various
fish species along the shores or by chartering a boat. For a taste of local
life, explore the Tin Can Bay markets held every third Saturday of the month,
offering fresh produce and unique finds. While nightlife is limited, visitors
can enjoy a quiet evening by the water at local cafes and restaurants.
