Ayu Islands
Location of the Ayu islands, labelled as Ayau here, just north of Waigeo in the Raja Ampat Islands, Southwest Papua, Indonesia
In older maps these islands appear as the 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 Southwest Papua.
