Visiting Lalomanu Beach, Aleipata, Upolu

About this guide

A perfect crescent of white sand on Upolu's south-east tip, framed by the offshore islets of Nu'utele and Nu'ulua — the postcard view of Samoa. The lagoon stays calm and shallow well out from the shore; snorkel is gentle and the sunset is the kind that ends a holiday well. Beach fales and small resorts line the road behind, so you can step from your room straight onto the sand. Pay the small village fee at the kiosk on the way in.
