"As a visitor to these islands I can only imagine what it would be like to live there. After two solid days of airliners, airports, traffic and crowds, the subtle charms of Ofu seemed anti-climactic. This palagi was a stranger in a strange land. But watching the waves on the reef, the sunset, the children playing on the grass, the chickens roaming around, the flying foxes circling the sky at dusk ... all of these images will be with me forever. Days of rainbows, nights filled with the brightest stars I've ever seen. When I first saw the Southern Cross rising in the night sky somewhere between my feet and Antarctica I knew I was in a place that was very, very special." (Visitor Terry Skaggs commenting about the Manu'a islands of American Samoa)
Ofu Beach, American Samoa Video
Deep in the South Pacific, Ofu Beach in American Samoa is the best kept secret beach. Pristine waters house coral reefs, and the jungle provides the perfect backdrop.
Ofu Beach, American Samoa is listed as one of five undiscovered beach destinations by Photos4travel Travel Guides
"These beaches are quiet and secluded spots where you escape from the rigors of life any time of the year. Finding five undiscovered beaches in a world already filled with beaches, gives beach lovers more choices and the opportunity to walk on long unspoiled beaches filled with beauty and unending beach treasures." That quote is from Photos4travel Travel Guides creative director.
"These undiscovered beaches were picked by us because of their beauty, swim ability and their isolation factor, as well as the fact that even some of the locals don't know about them."
"The first beach in this exclusive group sits halfway between New Zealand and Hawaii on the Manua Islands. The Manua Islands are part of American Samoa. American Samoa is pretty remote, but the Manua Islands are even less traveled. Sitting on the west coast of the volcanic island of Ofu, is Ofu beach, which is part of Samoa's National Park. Ofu Beach is a two mile stretch of finely graded coral sand. Right behind the beach is an unspoiled area of nothing but lush greenery, jagged slopes and palm trees swaying in the ocean breeze. Photos4travel has named Ofu the best undiscovered beach in the world. Ofu Island is private, secluded and is not commercialized in any way."
