Asaa Harbour
edit
The history of Asaa Harbour dates back to 1877 when the harbour was built as an island harbour.
In the period 1905 to 1977, the harbour has been expanded, where the last expansion in 1976–1977 was the construction of a marina.
The marina is located north of the old harbour basins.[4]
One of the iconic fishermen's red-painted houses from the 1930s has been converted into a museum of fisheries.[5]
Asaa Beach, a shallow and sandy beach, is situated just south of the harbour.[6]
