Amoumè is a quiet town in the south of the West African country of Togo, located in the Maritime Region, about 30 kilometers north of the capital city of Lomé, in the plains along the Gulf of Guinea. Rooted in traditional Ewe culture, the town's inhabitants are mainly engaged in fishing, agriculture (e.g. cassava, maize cultivation) and small-scale trade, and live a slow and simple life. Dotted with coconut groves and lagoons, the town's natural beauty is mirrored by the local craft market, a window on the southern Togolese vernacular. Despite its small size, Amlame is one of the smallest towns on the Togolese coast, thanks to its proximity to Lomé and its unique cultural scene.
