Guam

The little island with a huge heart
Guam, an island in the Pacific Ocean that has been a U.S. territory since 1950, has year-round beach weather with average highs and lows of 30 degrees Celsius and two distinct seasons: dry (December through June) and wet (July through November). Allow the rain not to deter you. This island, which is just 48 km long and 14.5 km wide and is well-known for its beaches, Chamorro culture, and historical monuments related to both Spanish colonization and World War II, experiences brief downpours.

Guam Rich History
Over 130 locations on the island are listed as National Register of Historic Places, and the island boasts 4,000 years of history. Discover the history of Two Lovers Point and take in the cultural exhibits at Chamorro Village. Take a 4-kilometer walking tour of Hågatña’s capital, stopping at 17 historical locations. View the historic latte stones, which were pillars supporting dwellings and capped with capstones shaped like cups. With Andersen Air Force Base located on one end of the island, there is still evidence of the American military defense system that dates back to World War II. Visit the Pacific War Museum to learn about Guam’s significant part in World War II history.

 

Gorgeous Beaches
Unwind on some of the best beaches on the island, such as Gun Beach, Tumon Beach, Ritidian Point, and Ypao Beach Park. This is the ideal place for both absolute leisure and water sports due to the bright white beach, rich marine life, and tropical weather. Divers can examine two battleships from two different wars that are resting next to each other on the ocean floor offshore, which is a unique opportunity. During World War I, the German cruiser SMS Cormoran II and the Japanese cargo Tokai Maru both sank.

 

Bright Culture
Remain in the Tumon Bay neighborhood, which offers a variety of lodging options, dining options, entertainment options, and activities. Your money goes a little farther on Guam because there is no sales tax. Unique local handicrafts and expensive brands can be found side by side in stores. The Chamorro Village Night Market offers visitors the opportunity to shop, eat locally sourced food, and take in live entertainment, making it the ideal place to get to know the locals. This place exudes the “Hafa Adai” spirit, which is one of cooperation and pride in the island’s past.
