The city
Where Guam comes to the water.
Tumon is Guam’s main visitor district, a bay where the international hotel names stand shoulder to shoulder along the beach and the shopping streets behind it. The reef just offshore is protected as a marine preserve, and the tourism bureau counts it among the best snorkelling on the island.
Guam averages about 28 °C all year. The Guam Visitors Bureau describes a sunny dry season from January to May; the heaviest rain falls from July to October, when the long-term average passes 300 mm a month.
- Tumon Bay Marine Preserve Protected reef directly in front of the hotels, counted among the island’s best for snorkelling.
- Two Lovers Point A high limestone headland at the northern end of the bay, with the whole sweep of Tumon below.
- Hagåtña The island’s capital, a few minutes south, with the old Spanish plaza at its centre.
