Lake Togo
Lac Togo
The largest lagoon on the coast, where you can cross the lake by dugout canoe to Togoville, with lakeside resorts offering watersports.
Lake Togo lies about 30 km east of Lomé. Separated from the Gulf of Guinea by only a sandbar, this lagoon covers roughly 64 square kilometres. Fishermen cast nets from dugout canoes across the lake, and the scene is peaceful. Along the southern shore, around Agbodrafo, there are holiday hotels and restaurants offering windsurfing and kayaking, and you can also rent a dugout canoe to cross to Togoville on the north shore, a trip of about 30 minutes. The lake water carries a risk of schistosomiasis, so swimming is not recommended. From Lomé, a taxi or hired car takes about 40 minutes.
