Aganoa beach

Aganoa is a wild beach on the south coast of Upolu island, Samoa. It is also known as Cape Niuato'i. The beach is beautiful and secluded. There are a lot of shaded trees. While sea water is good both for swimming, as well as for the snorkeling. It is very hard to get here. First you'll have to drive several miles along a bad road. And next you'll have to walk a little through the jungle. As usual, locals charge money for access to the beach. Entrance fee may range from 20 to 50 tala per car. It is better to pay. Otherwise, you will be warned that "they not garantee safety of your car" (!). However, even if you don't have a car, they will be able to make you to pay. Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]

Hotels [edit]

There are no hotels near the beach of Aganoa. The nearest hotel is 4-star Coconuts Beach Club Resort & Spa (from US$400). In a theory, you can walk to Aganoa in a few hours - through the jungle. But it will be much better to take a boat tour. By the way, this is a good option not to pay to the local "guards".

How to get there [edit]

Fly to Apia international airport (APW). Next hire a taxi or take a bus.

When to go [edit]

The best time for a beach holiday in Samoa is a dry season from June to September.
