Lau Lagoon is a part of Solomon Islands. It is located on the northeast coast of Malaita Island. The lagoon is more than 35 kilometers long and contains about 60 artificial islands built on the reef.[1][2][3]
The Lau lagoon is home to a number of different villages. The largest village is Forau, which has around 1,500 permanent residents but can swell to three times that number during important local feasts or religious holidays (e.g. Christmas, Easter). The road from Auki, which passes through Malu'u, ends at Fouia wharf opposite the islands of Sulufou and Adagege in the Lau Lagoon.[4] Funa'afou island, which is located near the edge of the Makwanu Passage, has about 200 inhabitants.[5] The Lau Lagoon is otherwise only accessible by sea.
