Woe (pronounced Wo-ay)[1] is a small rural town in Ghana's Volta region near the larger town of Keta.
Woe's economy relies heavily on fishing.
A notable landmark there is a large lighthouse called Cape St. Paul Lighthouse[2] on the beach that guides ships away from a mythical massive underwater mountain[citation needed].
This lighthouse is also thought to be the oldest in Ghana.
[1] The predominant local language of Woe is Ewe.
