Everything except food and sunscreen is available at this beautiful beach: grassy spots for games, a sandy stretch, great swimming, a playground and restrooms.

Not much crowded than expected. Scenic place in Guam. This beach us very close to Hilton spa and resort. You can go there in 10mins from the hotel. Even this beach is not the best clean one, though snorkelers surely enjoy here. There is picnic area which you can try BBQ party next to.the Ypao beach. 멋진곳입니다. 예쁜 해변과 함께 바로 옆에 바베큐 파티와 피크닉을 즐길수 있는 장소가 있어 가족여행객에게 유용한 장소입니다.

This gorgeous, white sand beach offers great swimming, but watch out for the strong current.

Thank you to Maribel from the refuge info center for encouraging us to take the cave tour. She taught us a ton about the history of this land including way of life and current integration of life to the grounds/island. Beautiful beach and plenty of trails to explore in non-guided tours. Weather can be a factor as you are at the tip of the pacific so plan accordingly. Otherwise visit the center and enjoy the information available there.

There is a ferry out to this very small island. (One can walk the perimeter in 15 - 20 minutes.) There are two swimming beaches, the best snorkeling is at the beach which is the farthest from the dock. I saw the greatest variety of fish very close to the shore here. I also saw the largest fish of anywhere on the island (and I hit every beach). There is a souvenir store here which is nice if you forgot sun block, but nothing unique was sold here. There is also a very nice, reasonably priced snack bar, and a buffet lunch if you want to make a day of it.

We had the opportunity to visit the beach during both high tide and low tide. During high tide, the beach is great. But low tide, not as nice. The beach has powdery white sand. The beach itself is free for the public but there are no free parking lots nearby.

If you’ve got limited time, then this is a must -do!! Not a far hike but can feel like it because it can be hot and humid, and ends walking up hill! Downhill hike at start easy, to cave opening. Bring a waterproof flashlight and camera as you do a short dark walk through semi tight opening to an underground pond with clean cool fresh water. Refreshing after that warm hike. Then hike up other side from cave opening to short paths to the rocky shore, which is beautiful! Heard some will cliff jump here but we did not. BTW no easy place to climb out after you jump...I’d reserve this only for the most adventurous who are STRONG swimmers. Wear good hiking shoes to cave, and to shore, but bring to wear water shoes for in cave and pond.

I am a fan of National Parks and this one does not disappoint. As the only unit located in Guam, it does take some effort to get here. The park tells not only the story of the liberation of Guam but of the entire war in the Pacific. The Visitor Center and Museum are staffed by friendly and knowledgeable people who are dedicated to telling the story of WWII. There are plenty of artifacts from the battle as well as maps and photos to tell the story. There is even a Japanese midget submarine in front of the Visitors Center. Begin your visit here. The main part of the park is Asan Beach. It is a beautiful and quiet beach where you can walk along the limited monuments and reflect on the invasion and the horror of that day. It is hard to imagine what occurred in such a peaceful spot. The downside is the markers are few and far between so you have to fill in the blanks yourself. There are several different locations spread across Guam that encompass the park but they are not easily found nor marked clearly. Be prepared to drive aimlessly while searching for them. However, they are worth finding as each spot tells more of the story. If you are in Guam, take time to visit this National Historical Park - it is worth the visit.

This cliffside lookout point, the site of a legend of two lovers who leapt to their deaths, offers a spectacular view of Tumon Bay and the ocean.

Very impressive views on Guam’s West coast from this high elevation lookout on Tumon. There is a USD 3.00 fee to access the viewing platform.

We arrived at Guam, Mariana Islands as part of our 43 day Maasdam cruise circling Japan to Sydney, Australia. Berthed at this 220 square mile islands Container Port(adjacent to the Navy Port), we took one of the 8 provided port shuttle buses 11 miles NE to the Micronesia Mall. Its 60+ stores are located along 4 wings that focus on a large center court with information on the lower level and an extensive food court above. We used the Philippine National Bank, Payless Supermarket, Ross, Macys, and the convenient Coffee Beanery on the 2nd floor with its dedicated WiFi. Many clean restrooms are available on both levels. This is our second visit to this wartime island having last visited in 2015 when we took a complete tour to include their 17th C Cathedral Basilica, Agana Bay circled with upscale hotels catering to the Chinese/Japanese tourists, and the War in the Pacific National Park Museum. This large mall made for a productive 2nd visit to Guam.

The four course dinner itself (steak and lobster for the main course) was amazing, even down to the fancy presentation, the wait staff were incredible, super attentive and friendly, and to get to actually dine in the aquarium tunnel was such a treat. Worth every penny!

Nice smaller beach with fantastic clean white sand. Can go swimming and snorkeling but be careful if the surf is high. Named after old WW2 Japanese gun mounted at the beach, take the short trail over to part of the beach on the other side of the big rock outcropping. After beach time, visit the Beach Bar right behind the beach, good food and cold beer.
