Salamumu beach
Salamumu Beach is located in the south of the Upolu Island in Samoa. This beautiful, calm and deserted coast isn't really suitable for swimming as the sea bottom and the shore are covered in black sharp volcanic rocks in this part of the Pacific Ocean. People come here to partake in snorkeling and diving. When the high waves occur, and they aren't rare on Salamumu, experienced surfers practice their surfing skills.
