Samarai is a small historic island in the Milne Bay Province of Papua New Guinea, strategically located at the entrance to Milne Bay in the south-east of the country, and was a thriving trading port in the Pacific between the 19th and early 20th centuries, connecting Europe, Asia and the Pacific Islands, and was known as the 'Pearl of the South'. It was known as the "Pearl of the South". The island retains remnants of colonial architecture, such as old churches and stone wharves, which tell the story of its former prosperity. The local residents are mainly Milne Bay tribes, with unique traditional wood carving and canoe making techniques, and an annual cultural festival that attracts tourists to experience original songs, dances and marine festivals. Today, Samale is no longer a major trading hub, but is a destination for eco-tourism and historical discovery, showcasing Papua New Guinea's multiculturalism through its crystal-clear islands, scuba-diving relics (such as a World War II shipwreck) and friendly people.
