The waterfall is a large vertical waterfall. It cascades down the steep rock wall, scattering countless pearls, splashing thousands of silver flowers, and spraying snow.

To Sua Ocean Trench
To Sua Ocean Trench is located in the village of Lotofaga in the southern part of Upolu, Samoa, a South Pacific island nation. Situated near the island's South Coast Road, it is a representative local natural attraction. It is actually a natural seawater swimming hole formed by the collapse of an ancient lava tube, approx. 30m deep. The pool is connected to the ocean via underground channels, giving it a clear blue-green hue. The pool is surrounded by towering rock walls covered in ferns and tropical greenery, which contrast sharply with the vibrant colors of the water. The surrounding area features tropical gardens, traditional open-air pavilions for resting, and walking paths where you can enjoy views of the nearby coast, black lava formations, tide pools, and blowholes formed by waves crashing against the rocks. It is a great spot for nature sightseeing and experiencing the unique natural swimming pool view.Aufaga · 31km from Apia

Its nice here, very close to town area, about 5 mins drive from the Vaisigano bridge. If you’re in for a swim, make sure you have sim shoes on because it’s a bit too rocky in the water.

[Scenery] Beautiful swimming beach
[Fun] We stayed at the beautiful Taufua Beach Fales, which is the beach they are on. It is a beautiful beach with beautiful swimming there. If you can muster up the energy to get yourself out of the water, it is also great to walk to the local village.
