Top Things to See in Guam
Guam's must-visit beaches, landmarks, and Chamorro history — with locations and tips for each
Landmarks & History
Two Lovers Point (Puntan Dos Amantes)
A dramatic 120-metre clifftop overlook above Tumon Bay, with sweeping views of the reef and coastline. Named for a Chamorro legend of two forbidden lovers who leapt from the cliff together, tying their hair, rather than be parted.
Latte Stone Park
A small park in the capital displaying ancient latte stones — the carved stone pillars topped with a capstone that once supported the houses of the ancient Chamorro, and now the enduring cultural symbol of Guam and the Marianas.
Plaza de España
The historic heart of Hagåtña, once the grounds of the Spanish governor's palace. The surviving Chocolate House pavilion, arched gateway, and garden walls recall Guam's three centuries under Spanish rule, set among the capital's monuments.
War in the Pacific National Park
A US National Historical Park preserving the WWII Pacific battlefields where US forces landed to retake Guam in 1944. It spans beaches, gun emplacements, memorials, and a visitor centre telling the story from both American and Chamorro sides.
Beaches & Lagoons
Tumon Bay
Guam's main resort beach — a long crescent of white sand and calm, reef-protected turquoise water lined with hotels, restaurants, and shopping. The hub for swimming, snorkelling, and sunset, and the base most visitors stay in.
Ritidian Point
Guam's wild northern tip — a pristine white-sand beach and clear water inside the Guam National Wildlife Refuge, backed by jungle nature trails and home to native birds, fruit bats, and reptiles. Secluded and far quieter than Tumon.
Cocos Island & Lagoon
A small barrier island off Guam's southern tip, reached by ferry from Merizo, ringed by a calm reef lagoon. A resort day-out for snorkelling, diving, parasailing, kayaking, and white-sand beach time in clear, shallow water.
Inarajan Natural Pools
Saltwater pools formed in the volcanic rock on the southeastern coast at Inarajan (Inalåhan), sheltered from the open sea and calm enough for swimming and floating. A free, scenic local swimming hole with old diving platforms.
Matapang Beach Park
A small public beach park near the middle of Tumon Bay, with the same white sand and reef-sheltered lagoon as the resorts beside it, plus free parking, covered pavilions, restrooms, and a shower. Busy with local families at weekends and a launch spot for outrigger canoe teams.
Nature & Culture
Talofofo Falls
A two-tier jungle waterfall in southern Guam, reached through a hilltop park with a cable car, lookout tower, and the cave where a WWII Japanese holdout soldier hid for decades. The falls plunge into a pool ringed by green forest.
Fish Eye Marine Park
An underwater observatory at the end of a long pier over the Piti Bomb Holes marine preserve — the only one of its kind in Micronesia. Descend below the surface to watch coral and tropical fish through the viewing windows, no swimming required.
Chamorro Village Night Market
A cultural marketplace in Hagåtña that comes alive at its Wednesday Night Market, when stalls fill with Chamorro food — red rice, barbecue, kelaguen, fresh seafood — alongside crafts, live music, and dancing. The best place to taste local culture.
Fort Nuestra Señora de la Soledad
The last standing of four Spanish forts built above Umatac Bay, the cove where Magellan is said to have landed in 1521. Its ramparts give a superb view over the bay, coastline, and southern hills — an icon of Guam's Spanish-era south.
