Discover more about Cetti Bay

Cetti Bay is a picturesque destination on Guam's southern coast, celebrated for its natural beauty and historical significance. The bay is part of Guam's Territorial Seashore Park, showcasing volcanic rock formations. The twin hills, Attelong Acho, display pillow lava formed during ancient volcanic eruptions. From the Cetti Bay Overlook, Cocos Island is visible to the south. The coastal area has been inhabited by Chamorros for around 3,000 years, with latte stones and pottery shards as evidence. The ancient Chamorro village of Jati was located near the bay's north shore. The Spanish later created a road system through Cetti Bay connecting Hagåtña and Humåtak. Cetti Bay is also known as Atte, and it sided with rebel Chamorros during the Chamorro Spanish Wars. Today, Cetti Bay offers hiking, snorkeling, and diving. The bay is accessible by boat or by hiking from Humåtak or Sella Bay, though the hikes involve considerable climbing.
