Apia is Samoa’s capital and has a population of 40,407. It is the country’s main urban centre on the island of Upolu, in the South Pacific.
Travellers can arrive via Faleolo Airport or Fagali'i Airport, both of which serve Apia. There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres of the city, so beach trips require looking beyond the immediate area.
