Le'ala Shoreline, Protected shoreline in Tutuila Island, American Samoa
The Le'ala Shoreline extends across 35 acres featuring rocky formations, deep surge channels, and tide pools along the Pacific coast.
The shoreline received its designation as a National Natural Landmark in 1972, marking its geological importance with basalt flows and tuff layers.
Ancient petroglyphs found near Avaloa Point provide evidence of early Polynesian settlements and their connection to this coastal area.
Visitors can access the 3.2-mile Le'ala Shoreline Trail from Vailoatai, which connects to the Fagatele Bay National Marine Sanctuary Trail.
The Taputimu Tide Pools along the shoreline become natural swimming areas during low tide, surrounded by volcanic rock formations.
