Aganoa Beach, Black sand beach in Upolu, Samoa.
Located on the southern coast of Upolu island, Aganoa Beach stretches along a crescent-shaped coastline with deep waters and offshore coral reefs.
The beach formed through volcanic activity that created the black sand shoreline, which has remained untouched by modern development throughout Samoan history.
Local Samoan families maintain traditional beach fales along the shore, offering visitors an authentic experience of Pacific island accommodation and customs.
Access to Aganoa Beach requires a four-wheel drive vehicle due to rough terrain, and visitors should bring their own equipment for water activities.
The beach features two distinct surf breaks: Aganoa Right, which provides year-round waves, and Aganoa Left, which creates natural barrel formations.
