Massacre Bay (American Samoa)

Massacre Bay, located on Tutuila Island in American Sāmoa, is home to the village of Aʻasu. As of 1999, only one family remains in the area now known as A’asutuai (Old Town Aʻasu), while the rest of the community has relocated to A’asufou (New A’asu). The bay holds historical significance, marked by an 1883 monument commemorating the Frenchmen who lost their lives there on December 11, 1787. Visitors can access Massacre Bay via a scenic hiking trail that descends from Aʻoloaufou.
