Abandze is a small town near the Atlantic Ocean coast of Ghana, lying north-east of Cape Coast in the Central Region of Ghana.

[1] It grew around the Dutch Fort Amsterdam, established in 1598.

It was then recaptured by the Dutch in 1665 and reverted to its original name, mirroring the British takeover of New Amsterdam which renamed that settlement New York.

[2] The majority of the people who live at Abandze are fishermen.
