Maritime Region (French: Région maritime) is the southernmost of Togo's five regions, with the country's only shoreline on the Bight of Benin. Tsévié serves as the regional capital. It is the smallest region in terms of area, but it has the largest population, with 3.5 million people.[2]
Other major cities in the Maritime region include Lomé, the Capital of Togo, and Aného.
Maritime is located south of Plateaux Region. In the west, it borders the Volta Region of Ghana, and in the east it borders two departments of Benin: Kouffo further north, and Mono further south.
