Ayu Islands
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ayu Islands (Kepulauan Ayu), are a small archipelago south of the Asia Islands and north of Raja Ampat Islands in Indonesia. This group is formed by two coral atolls.
In old maps these islands appear as Ajoe Islands, following the Dutch spelling "Ajoe-eilanden".
The beaches of these islands are a breeding ground for the leatherback turtle (Dermochelys coriacea). The waters off the Ayu Islands are a good snorkeling and scuba diving site.
Administratively the Ayu Islands belong to the Indonesian province of Irian Jaya.
