Manese Beach

Manase is a settlement in Samoa's Gagaifomauga political district on the island of Savai'i's central north coast. There are only approximately 100 people living there. Manase beach with its white sand beach and proximity to the sea has become a popular tourist attraction since the 1990s, with low-cost and locally owned beach fale lodging. There is a local store for basic necessities and a petrol station to fill up your rentals, which may also be rented at Manase to allow access to neighboring beaches with coral and tropical fish species, as well as the lava fields.

There is a wide range of lodging options available. On Sundays, the sound of church bells can be heard across the village. The nearest hospital is in the neighboring town of Safotu, while Fagamalo, five minutes east, has a post office and a small police station. Safotu is the next village west of the shore, followed by Samauga and the Safune communities. Manase is 45 kilometers east of Salelologa, the island's ferry station and settlement.
