(詳細はSamoa. Beach fales are also common in other parts of Polynesia. They have become popular in tourism as a low budget accommodation situated by the coast, built with a few posts, no walls and a thatched roof with a round or oval shape. The word ''fale'' (pronounced fah-leh) is the Samoan word for any type of building. A similar word is used in other Polynesian languages, similar to whare in the Maori language. In Samoan architecture, these simple huts are called ''faleo'o'' in the Samoan language. They are common in villages where they provide extra storage or space for dragon boats. As the term denotes, beach fale are usually located around the coast in villages. In Samoa, renting out a beach fale to visitors is a common means for providing extra income for families.〔Samoa Tourism Authority, http://www.visitsamoa.ws/samoa/cms/accom/ How Stuff Works, http://travel.howstuffworks.com/american-samoa-national-park-ga2.htm〕 ==Gallery== File:Fale on Manono Island.jpg|beach fale on Manono Island File:Beach fale interior - Samoa 2009.jpg|Interior of a beach fale.
