Auasi is a village in the east of Tutuila Island, American Samoa. One of the island's more populous villages, it is located on the south coast, close to the eastern tip of the island and to the smaller offshore island of Aunuu. It is located in Saole County.
Above the village is a waterfall known as Auasi Falls. This can be visited by following the stream in Auasi for about 30 minutes. It is particularly impressive after heavy rain.
Ferries for Aunu'u Island leave from the dock at Auasi. ûAuûasi is located roughly one mile from Aunu'u Island and is therefore the closest land area to Aunu'u on Tutuila Island.
ûAuûasi is a village situated on the southeastern coast of Tutuila Island, in Saûole County in the Eastern District. Approximately 15 road miles from Pago Pago Harbor, Auasi lies in a shallow bay nestled between Taugamalama Point and Maatu'aume Point. The village is 1.2 miles from Aunu'u Island, serving as the traditional landing site for its residents. ûAuûasi covers a relatively flat area of around 10 acres, with land elevations between 8 and 12 feet above sea level. The terrain consists of coastal terraces formed by stream erosion and sediment deposits, underlain by silt to boulder-sized sediments derived from the offshore reef. Coral limestone sand and gravel are present along the shoreline, gradually transitioning into steep cliffs below the beach.
As the primary gateway for Aunuûu Island, ûAuûasi plays a pivotal role in daily commutes and logistics. Residents of Aunuûu rely on longboats and small motorboats to travel between the island and ûAuûasi for education, work, and access to markets in Pago Pago. The village supports agricultural activities, with crops like taro, breadfruit, and citrus transported to the markets in Pago Pago.
