When surfing locally, bear in mind – if not beware of – “localism.” It’s a practice that is very much alive and well on Guam, according to surfers.

Easy access, sublime floating islands, incredible visibility, big pelagics and friendly locals all combine to make Palau a dive destination not to be missed.

A popular monument to Guam, Dulce Nombre de Maria Cathedral Basilica is a symbol of the impact of the Spanish culture on the Pacific island.

The best thing about being on Guam is all the opportunities there are for fun in the sun on the beach and beyond.

Guam has some of the most stunning beaches you might ever see but the island’s natural beauty extends far beyond white sand shores and sparkling turquoise waters.

Guam may be better known for its world-class dive sites, but there are plenty of great underwater adventures to be had without a tank – if you know where to go. Grab your mask, snorkel and fins and hit up these favorite spots, which rank in the top 10 for their ease of accessibility, excellent visibility and diversity of reef life.
