Guam sights
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.
About
Ritidian Point (Litekyan) is the northernmost tip of Guam and one of its most beautiful and unspoiled places — a long stretch of soft white sand and clear water that feels a world away from the resorts of Tumon. It lies within the Guam National Wildlife Refuge, a protected area of beach, limestone forest, and ancient Chamorro archaeological sites managed by the US Fish and Wildlife Service, which shields it from development and keeps it quiet. Behind the beach, short nature trails lead through native forest that shelters some of Guam's increasingly rare wildlife, including endemic birds, Mariana fruit bats, geckos, and monitor lizards, with interpretive signs about the ecology and Chamorro history. Because it is remote, has limited facilities and gated opening hours, and the surf can be strong, it rewards a bit of planning — but for those seeking natural beauty, solitude, and a sense of old Guam, it is the island's standout.
