Sakumono is a small town before Nungua from Ashaiman. It is in the Tema Metropolitan district, a district in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana. It was originally a small fishing village on Sakumono Lagoon, but by 2008 was being swallowed up as the twin cities of Nungua and Tema were merging. Its elevation is 71m. Sakumono, also known as Community 13, is one of the interesting towns in the area, with the main township being close to the beach and the lagoon. It also has several sectors of Estate buildings and jurisdiction.
The town is served by a station of the Ghana Railway Corporation called Asoprochona and a main GPRTU of TUC vehicle station called Estate Junction. Vehicles going to Accra, Circle, Nungua, Tema, Lashibi, Klagon, Ashaiman, Spintex, Airport, East Legon, Madina, Accra Mall (Tetteh Quarshie Roundabout) and Lapaz can all be found at Estate Junction.
