Top Attractions in Anloga
💡 Buy fried plantain or grilled tilapia from the women cooking near the lorry station—best value in town. Come before 9am for the freshest fish and fewer motorbikes.
💡 Remove shoes before entering the inner area. Visit on Thursday mornings when elders often hold private rituals; stay quiet and observe from the edge of the courtyard.
💡 Bring binoculars and a hat; the access path near the fishing jetties is unofficial but clear. No signage, so ask locally for 'the lagoon walk'.
💡 Go early in the morning around 6am to see fishermen hauling nets; locals are happy to chat but never photograph without asking.
💡 The free oceanfront walkway behind the fort offers excellent views of the Atlantic and the fort's cannons. Go late afternoon for softer light and fewer crowds.
