As we made our way around the island, we came across a surprise: a marine reserve that wasn’t mentioned in our guidebook: Savaia Marine Reserve. It’s a sanctuary for the giant clams that have been over-harvested and now need protection. The reserve was set up by the Savaia Village.
It was a beautiful area, with a small inn, La Valasi’s Beach Fales, that served sandwiches. Unfortunately we didn’t bring our snorkeling gear so we contented ourselves with enjoying the view while having some lunch. -Cyndi
