Tumon Bay

The southern portion is a mountainous region, while the northern coast is home to many cliffs. Accessible by bus or car, Tumon is a good starting point for visiting Two Lovers Point, the spot two star-crossed lovers committed suicide by jumping off a 378-foot cliff. While a bit macabre, the area is a beautiful vantage point of central Guam and Tumon Bay.
