This idyllic bay boasts soft, powdery white sands that meet the tranquil, turquoise waters of the Philippine Sea. As a marine preserve, Tumon Bay teems with vibrant marine life, making it an excellent spot for snorkeling and diving. The beach's history is as rich as its natural beauty.

In 1672, it was the site where Jesuit missionary Padre Diego Luis de San Vitores and his sacristan Pedro Calungsod were killed, sparking the Spanish-Chamorro Wars. During World War II, Tumon Bay was a landing site for the Japanese during their invasion in 1941, and remnants of Japanese fortifications can still be found along the coast. Today, Tumon Beach is a hub of activity. Visitors can enjoy a variety of water sports, from paddleboarding and kayaking to parasailing and jet skiing. The beach is also ideal for families, with calm waters and plenty of space for children to play. For those seeking relaxation, simply lounging on the beach and soaking up the sun is a popular option. The area is known for its stunning sunsets, painting the sky with vibrant colors. Beyond the beach itself, Tumon offers a wealth of dining, shopping, and entertainment options.
