Timeline
09:00
Arrive at Apia Park. It is one of the major sporting venues in the city, holding rugby and football matches. Use the quiet morning hours to explore the grounds before the crowds arrive for evening events.
09:22
Walk 22 minutes NNW to Palolo Deep Marine Reserve. This is the only beach in Apia to the east of the harbour. Note that it is mostly coral gravel rather than sand, but it serves as an official underwater park.
09:28
Have lunch at Seafood Gourmet, a 6-minute walk from the marine reserve. The restaurant offers good food at reasonable prices and provides a view over the harbour.
10:28
Return to Apia Park for the final stop. After your lunch and beach walk, head back to the central sporting venue to finish your morning.
Local tip
Palolo is not a typical sandy beach. It is primarily coral gravel, so bring appropriate footwear if you plan to wade in the shallow waters.
