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.
