Guam — Attractions

Guam’s beautiful beaches are perfect for sitting back and relaxing, but its attractions are worth getting up for, too. Guam boasts plenty of natural wonders, historical landmarks and hidden gems. Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy a trek through the jungles to see unique flora and fauna as well as its world-famous waterfalls. Those who wish to know more about the local culture can head to the heart of the island to explore the Spanish-influenced region or head south to meet and mingle with the Chamorros people.

Tumon Bay

Guam’s major tourist center, Tumon Bay offers plenty of coastal accommodations, nightlife and shopping opportunities. The surrounding waters are perfect for scuba diving thanks to the colorful coral reefs and underwater life. The southern portion is a mountainous region, while the northern coast is home to many cliffs. Accessible by bus or car, Tumon is a good starting point for visiting Two Lovers Point, the spot two star-crossed lovers committed suicide by jumping off a 378-foot cliff. While a bit macabre, the area is a beautiful vantage point of central Guam and Tumon Bay.

Known as Agana, or Agaña, when it was under Spanish rule, from the 18th to the middle of the 20th century, Hagåtña was the population center of Guam. Nowadays, it serves as the seat of the island’s government and is an important commercial district.
