Tafatafa beach

Tafatafa is a beach in the south of Upolu island in Samoa. There is a small village focused on serving tourists. But if you walk to the left or to the right, you'll find a cozy wild coast, - but also with good swimming. House reef protect from strong waves being also a great snorkeling spot. Unfortunately, sea bottom is rocky. So it is worth to have coral shoes. In addition, the sea becomes too shallow during low tide. But if you walk a little, it is still possible to swim. Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]
