Tumon Beach
Get ready to soak up some sun and adventure in the heart of Guam's tourism scene—Tumon Bay! This magnificent district, located on the glistening northwest coast of the island, is the perfect place to trade in your day-to-day routine for a tropical paradise. With its stunning white sand beaches and crystal-clear waters, Tumon has become the go-to destination for beach bums and adventure seekers alike.
Not only is Tumon Bay a beautiful place to catch some rays, but it's also a hub of activity. With tons of hotels lining the shores and an abundance of dining and shopping options, you'll never run out of things to do. And when the sun sets, the fun only continues. The nightlife here is like nothing you've ever experienced before, with all sorts of entertainment options that are sure to keep you on your feet until the break of dawn. Put on your dancing shoes and head on over to Tumon Bay for an unforgettable vacation experience!
Two Lovers Point
But wait, there's more! Not only is this place stunning, but it also has a love story to die for, literally. A popular Guam folklore tells of two lovebirds who were so madly in love, they couldn't bear to be apart. So, they took a leap of faith (off the cliff) and joined each other in love forever. How romantic, right?
Standing at a height of approximately 370 feet, this limestone plateau is part of the northern part of Guam and will have you feeling on top of the world. Come on down to Two Lovers Point and fall in love with this iconic landmark and its romantic tale. Trust us, it's a love affair you won't forget!
Ritidian Point
Ladies and gentlemen, prepare yourselves for an adventure like no other with Ritidian Point, the northernmost gem of Guam. This secret paradise is protected by the ever-vigilant US Fish and Wildlife Service, who have done a stellar job keeping the place looking spick and span.
Picture this: miles and miles of pinkish-white sand, crystal clear waters that are perfect for a swim—just watch out for those sneaky currents—along with the occasional little fishy friends to say hello to. And if you're looking for a bit of excitement, there are two hiking trails for you to explore, including a loop that takes you past a mysterious cave. Plus, there's plenty of shady parking and picnicking areas so you can take a break and enjoy a snack in peace.
But here's the best part. Unlike Tumon Bay, you won't have to fight for a spot on the sand or deal with throngs of tourists. In fact, Ritidian Point is the least-visited part of the island, so you may even have the beach all to yourself. Just remember, this slice of heaven is only open from Wednesday to Sunday, from 7:30 am to 4:00 pm. So, grab a car or jump in a taxi and make your way up to the northern tip of Guam.
Chamorro Village
The Chamorro Village is where the island's indigenous culture comes to life. With local vendors selling all sorts of arts, crafts, and food that are uniquely Chamorro, there's always something new to discover. And don't forget the traditional dances, music, and foods! Trust that you won't want to miss out on trying the spicy coconut salad (kelaguen), red rice, barbecued meats, and corn tortillas (tatiyas). There's also plenty of fresh seafood and locally grown produce to sink your teeth into.
However, what really sets the Chamorro Village apart is the people. You'll have the chance to chat with local vendors and artisans who are just dying to share their knowledge and experiences with you. And who knows, you might even run into a dancer, musician, or artist performing at one of the village's events. Not to mention, you'll be in good company with other tourists and travelers from around the world who are just as curious about the Chamorro culture as you are.
Why settle for an ordinary day when you can have an extraordinary one at the Chamorro Village? And if you're looking for the ultimate experience, make sure to come by on a Wednesday for the famous Night Market.
Underwater World
Dive into a sea of fun and adventure at Underwater World in Guam. This oceanarium is like taking a dip in a giant fishbowl, except you don't have to worry about getting wet, unless you want to, of course.
Get ready to be mesmerized as you walk through the giant tunnel filled with sea creatures that will make you feel like you're part of their world. From colorful schools of tropical fish to graceful stingrays, and even some friendly sharks, you'll see it all up close and personal. But Underwater World isn't just a pretty face as they've got the brains too. Interactive exhibits and educational displays will give you a deeper understanding of the ocean and all the creatures that call it home. And if you're feeling adventurous, join them for a snorkeling or diving excursion and discover the vibrant underwater world of Guam's coral reefs for yourself.
This is your chance to make a splash at Underwater World, the perfect destination for marine enthusiasts, families, and anyone who loves a good adventure!
