Faga’itua

Fagaʻitua, often called the "Bay of Ghosts," is a picturesque village along the tranquil shores of Fagaʻitua Bay. Rich in folklore, it is home to the story of the "Ghost Ship" Va’aloa, said to appear mysteriously in the bay at night. Visitors can explore the sacred Mauga o Ali’i, a mountain tied to the village's Paramount Chief Le’iato, or marvel at ancient turtle petroglyphs symbolizing the Samoan connection to sea turtles. Fagaʻitua Beach offers serene swimming and snorkeling opportunities alongside its pristine shoreline, making it a must-visit destination for history and nature enthusiasts.
