Visit To'aga Beach (Ofu Beach), Ofu, American Samoa

To'aga Beach on the south side of Ofu. Bring your snorkel to explore the pristine coral reef that fringes its shore. The To’aga site on Ofu also spans virtually an entire three-millennium-long sequence of Samoan archeology, and is exceptionally rich in the period from about 3200 to 1900 years before the present. Many Samoans relate eerie and often terrifying experiences with spirit beings or aitu. Beliefs in different aitu are prevalent and seriously respected in Samoan culture. During the US Nattional Park studies to establish the park local folk on Ofu warned national park planners not to wander down To’aga beach after sundown or at high noon. For To'aga was dangerously inhabited by aitu.
