Getting to the beach is not difficult, it is enough to land at the airport of Guam, and then follow by bus or order a taxi (in fact, the beach is within walking distance, but with luggage it is not so convenient). You can visit the beach all year round, as the temperature of water and air almost does not change, except for the rainy season - the peak is in July-September, when the weather slightly darkens the rest.
Tumon Bay Beach is about a kilometer long with a beautiful coral border and turquoise tranquil water-like smoothness. The clean beach area is favorable for children. Due to the nature-created barrier in the form of a reef, there are no serious waves on the beach and very shallow even at a decent distance from the shore, which means swimming and water entertainment with children are quite safe.
