Lalomanu Beach
Lalomanu
A white-sand beach at the southeastern tip of Upolu, with traditional fale beach huts in a row facing Nu'utele and the blue-green lagoon. It is often ranked among the most beautiful beaches in the South Pacific.
Lalomanu Beach lies at the southeastern corner of Upolu. Beyond the fine white sand, clear shallow lagoon waters stretch out, and in the distance you can see Namua Island, Nuutele Island and the other Aleipata Islands. Along the shore are several traditional Samoan beach huts (fale), and accommodation often includes breakfast and dinner. In the evening, you can watch a fire knife dance. The beach is good for swimming, snorkelling and kayaking. A 2009 tsunami devastated the area, and it has since been rebuilt. It is about 1.5 hours by car from Apia. Notes: some sections of the shore belong to the village and may charge a small entry fee. On Sundays, local people go to church, so keep things quiet.
