Western Samoa Beaches

At the Tropical Beach in Samoa

Several of my boyfriends asked me before I went, how on earth could I just hang out on the beaches for month on end? There is always so much to see and the height of the beaches is up to you. I came to Samoa last weekend and for the first few weeks I explored the capitol Apia on the principal Upolu peninsula before I settled in Lalomanu for a few nights.

This article takes us to the Upolu south coastline, known for its palm-fringed sandy beaches. You up for the beach-jumping in Samoa? Going to see Samoa? Plan your journey to heaven with this comprehensive Samoa travel guide! The Lalomanu is a gorgeous stripe of pure pink sandy with palms that grow in every possible angle.

An 8.1-gig. seismic event rocked the South Pacific in 2009, causing tsunami storms to strike Samoa. It was a heavy wave attack that killed tens of people and wrecked the area. In spite of the cataclysm, the natives have quickly advanced in a truly Samoan manner and despite the absence of agitation under the sea, the waters are so serene.

For a few and a half hours I was in Taufua Beach Fales, a small company, as is most often the case in Samoa. It was my first stay in a Fa-le, a Samoan cottage that is omnipresent throughout the area. Lalomanu Beach is a sure stop for those who have made it in a land where there are not too many backpack tourists.

In Apia I remember learning that almost all Samoans can learn to perform, but I didn't know they could fire! Samoan dancing is so different from what I saw in Vanuatu. Besides having a drink and relaxing on the shore, there were two cold places near by that legitimately made it necessary to leave the shore.

Samoa audiences will be able to recognise the next commercial with post cards and advertising materials - and for good reasons. that you were in Samoa until you visited the Tu Sua Ocean Trench. The place is completely magic with two solid dolines connected by a huge cave and full of clear and clear sea.

The waters are supplied by subterranean sea current and also the sight from above to the Pacific is not too poor. Not much I did in Lalomanu Beach, so I chose not to do much elsewhere for a few nights. So I phoned the Namuan island hosts and ten mins later a small ship drove across the straits to come and fetch me.

Namuan Island is a small droplet of country off Upolu, but it is like a remote area. Apart from a few members of the whole familiy who run the kestrels, nobody lives here - and that's how it is. A sweet open trap was allocated to me in the middle of the shore, with palms as shadow and singing birds as conversation (so it sounded).

They' re coming to the island of Namua to cut the connection. There is neither power nor warm running waters - but that is OK, considering how nice this place is. There is a very clear and flat sea in front of the shore. I' m often said that tortoises come to the sea grass just to gormandize on the sea grass, but all I found in my two day trip were these people.

It is unforgettable to watch the dusk show on the Isle of Namua. As if they were going to warm up before the nightly chase, they begin their "day" by circumnavigating the sky high above the isle. Some time after supper, the few employees drove back to the shore for a few long hrs to recharge their telephones and pick up the whole household - and left me all alone on the islands!

In the darkness I walked up the path to the top of the hill with the two hounds, who didn't want to let me out of my eyes. I am quite sure that I saw the first dawn of the sun on our earth this morning, as Samoa is just over the ISTB. My Robinson Crusoe adventures were over after two days on Namua Iceland.

So I said good-bye to this little piece of paradise and drove to the western end of the southern shore of Upolu. So I made it to a small town in the bay of Lefaga named Savaia and went to Le Valasi's Beach Fales. Taula and his missus Helen welcomed me and over the next few weeks they took incredible good charge of me.

Apart from the cathedral, the shops and the beaches, there is not much going on here and living is so easy in the sugaries. Also Samoans like to remain near their beloved ones, even if they leave this world. And Savaia is also gifted with the Giant Clam Sea, which is just opposite my crayfish.

There' s a good cause they call it Giant Clam Beach. At supper I was always escorted by Helen or Taula, and this gave me the opportunity to meet a true Samoan familiy. In fact, he showed me his main equipment and his Samoan tattoos (Tautau), which I met in Apia.

While in Savaia I was lucky enough to have a bike at my disposition and to explore the lovely beaches around the town. Things just began with a fast drive to the nearby shore known as Return To Paradise Strand. In 1953, this wonderful sandy spot became popular because of the 1953 movie with Garry Cooper, which was made there.

There is a chic sanctuary here these few nights that happens to have a contemporary God in Samoa present - a Wi-Fi-Hot-Spot! I have written my last article in this lovely little shed. Remember that the Samoa web is very pricey and you sometimes have to cycle a few kilometres to find some - I just hopefully you enjoy these contributions.

I would not go through what just to find this'perfect' one! In order to reach the shore, it is still 5 km over hard gravel tracks, which mostly lead off. And I knew I'd be paying the cost if I came back.... It' s a wet 30°C and there' s another sand you can chase for this one.

At last I made it to Salamumu Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches in Samoa. It' s gorgeous blue and there' s another place over here that was just great because I really needed a cooler. When I was dry from the exhausting drive to Salamumu Beach, I had to drive again to my next stop, only 8 km away.

Returning by bicycle and back on the street, I arrived at the turn-off to Matareva Bay. On the unpaved path to the shore was wonderful and led through vast coir orchards. This is Matareva Beaches great. In some areas robust and in others very remote, I found my own little place and slew a few short time.

Upolu's south-facing coastline has some stunning beaches, each one worth its own picture-card. Sundays are a quiet holiday that is carefully followed in Samoa. Smoking from Samoan houses on a Sunday should not trigger an alert. What makes Samoan men so powerful? Now I see why Samoan men are so powerful.

I was astonished to see how the Samoan Samoa Samoan way really worked together to make this unique food! Ecclesiastical times are one of the high points of the work. to Savaii Iceland. Samoa is the biggest of the islands, but has only a small part of the already small people.
