Upolu island
Ultimate guide (December 2024)
Upolu - is the capital island of Samoa in the South Pacific. There are no many good
beaches. The main thing here is that it still has the spirit the real Polynesia. As for disadvantages we may note that you will be charged some fee to access any significant attraction, - no matter would it be a beach or a waterfall inside the island. It looks like a local tradition, so you'll have to respect it (and to pay). Shore and seabed: rocks, sand.
