Asau is one of Samoa’s tropical places in the country. Situated on the northwest coast of Savii islands, Asau is Vaisigano’s political district village. It serves as focal point for business centre and is widely known for its tropical beaches. The city of Asau is also known for its timber industry. Upon entering the harbor of Asau, a giant coral reef can be spotted as the ferry boat closes by where it can be seen blocking the opening of the harbor. This coral reef is very well glued in its place, in fact it was so tough not even New Zealand’s bombs work against it. Locals believe that their god aitu doesn’t want it removed. Today, this harbor is now being seldom used.
