Marooned in the Pacific Ocean, Guam is a vision of palm-fringed beaches and aquamarine bays. The U.S. territory is the largest island in the Marianas Island Archipelago, with a footprint of 540 square kilometres. There are plenty of Spanish colonial sites and World War II battlefields to explore, as well as colourful Chamorro cultures and traditions.
Things to do in Guam
A balmy tropical climate and year-round temperatures of around 30 degrees Celsius make Guam a paradise for beach lovers. Ritidian Point is one of the most beautiful stretches of sand, backed by rugged limestone cliffs and lush jungle. Secluded Tanguisson Beach is a great place to soak up the sunshine and escape the crowds, with excellent reef snorkelling just offshore.
Guam boasts one of the most diverse marine ecosystems in the Pacific, with hundreds of coral and fish species to admire. Advanced divers can explore eerie shipwrecks, including the SMS Cormoran II German cruiser and Tokai Maru Japanese freighter.
