Mu Pagoa Waterfall
A rare waterfall that plunges straight into the sea, where a river tumbles from lava cliffs into the Pacific at Pulea village on the south coast, with natural freshwater pools nearby.
Mu Pagoa Falls is located in Pulea village on the south coast. The river splits into several streams as it drops over lava cliffs and flows directly into the bay, making it one of the rare waterfalls in Samoa that reach the sea. The site is managed by the village and charges a small entry fee. From the parking area it is a few minutes' walk to the viewpoint. Upstream of the falls is a calm freshwater pool where you can swim. The sea rocks are sharp and the waves are strong, so do not get close to where the falls meet the ocean. It can be combined with the Alofaaga Blowholes and Afu Aau Falls for a south-coast day trip.
