Pristine white-sand beaches and turquoise waters

World-famous sardine run and coral wall diving




Guam's beaches are the island's defining attraction — fine white sand, calm turquoise water, and year-round warm temperatures (28–30°C). Tumon Bay is the main tourist beach, calm, clear, and lined with hotels. Gun Beach is quieter and a local favourite for snorkelling. Ritidian Beach in the far north is a protected wildlife refuge with pristine reef and sea turtles. Ypao Beach Park offers free parking, picnic facilities, and gentle waves. Southern beaches like Umatac Bay and Merizo Pier are more remote but scenically dramatic.
questions & answers
Which is the best beach in Guam for snorkelling?
Tumon Bay is the most convenient — you can snorkel directly from the beach in front of most hotels, and the reef is accessible without a boat. Gun Beach offers slightly more coral diversity and fewer crowds. For serious snorkelling and the chance to see sea turtles, Ritidian Beach in the north is the best option, though it requires a car and a ranger permit.
Are Guam beaches safe for swimming?
Tumon Bay and most northern beaches are very safe — the water is calm, warm, and shallow for a good distance offshore. Ocean conditions can be rougher on the southern and eastern coasts, especially during typhoon season (August–November). Always check posted signs and flags, and never swim alone in remote areas.
