The scenery really became beautiful as we rounded the south coast of Samoa. It is full of white sand beaches, turquoise water, lava rock pools, black sand beaches, palm trees and waterfalls. It is also open to the southeast trade winds, making it feel cooler and much more comfortable than the north coast (of course, the air conditioning in the car helped too!).
Our first stop was Lalomanu Beach, with soft sand so white it almost seemed to glow. We saw a few white sand beaches as we went around the island, but this was my favorite. -Cyndi
