15 Unforgettable Experiences to Make This Summer Your Best Yet
Summer is here, and there’s no better time to get out and explore everything Guam has to offer. While the season brings sunny skies, it’s also rainy season, so expect a mix of warm beach days and refreshing afternoon showers. Whether you’re craving adventure, relaxation, or a little of both, this bucket list is here to inspire you to make the most of every day.
From sunrise to sunset, here are 15 experiences to fill your summer with memories you’ll treasure.
🌅 Sunrise & Sunset Moments
1. Watch the Sunrise Over the Ocean
Start your day with a peaceful moment as the sun rises over the Pacific. Whether you head to Two Lovers Point, Tanguisson Beach, or any east-facing shore, it’s worth waking up early to watch the sky light up.
2. Enjoy a Sunset Picnic
Gather your favorite snacks and find a cozy spot to watch the day fade into night. Agat Marina, Matapang Beach Park, and Asan Beach are all beautiful at golden hour.
🐠 Water Adventures
3. Go Snorkeling and Explore the Reef
Grab your mask and fins to discover Guam’s underwater world. Ypao Beach, Gun Beach, and Fish Eye Marine Park offer easy access to colorful marine life.
4. Paddle Board in Tumon Bay
Try stand-up paddle boarding in the calm, clear water. It’s a fun way to get a little exercise and see the coastline from a different perspective.
🚗 Road Trips & Hikes
5. Take a Southern Road Trip
Pack the car, put on your favorite playlist, and head south. Along the way, stop to admire the views in Umatac, explore Inalåhan Pools, or grab fresh empanadas at a mom and pop store.
6. Hike to a Waterfall
Guam has several beautiful hikes perfect for summer mornings. Tarzan Falls and Sigua Falls offer a rewarding waterfall view after a bit of a trek. Just bring water and watch your step.
7. Visit the Inalåhan Natural Pools
Cool off with a swim in these crystal-clear pools surrounded by volcanic rock. It’s the perfect place to relax after a drive down south.
🌿 Relaxing Escapes
8. Have a Backyard BBQ
There’s nothing like gathering family or friends, firing up the grill, and spending an evening under the stars.
9. Treat Yourself to a Staycation
Book a night at a hotel and enjoy a mini getaway without leaving the island.
10. Plant Something and Watch It Grow
Growing something with your own hands is satisfying and grounding. Even a potted plant on your windowsill counts.
🍽️ Local Food & Culture
11. Try a New Local Eatery
Make a list of restaurants or cafés you haven’t tried yet and check off at least a few before summer ends.
12. Explore the Tumon Night Market
Every Thursday night, Pleasure Island hosts the Tumon Night Market with food vendors, live music, and shopping. It’s a lively and colorful way to experience Guam’s local flair.
🌸 Simple Joys & Hidden Gems
13. Pick Fresh Mangos
Summer is mango season! Whether you pick them yourself (with permission) or grab some from a roadside stand, nothing tastes quite like a ripe local mango.
14. Volunteer Locally
Spend part of your summer giving back: whether it’s helping at a village clean-up, lending a hand at an animal shelter, or joining a youth outreach event. It’s a beautiful way to stay connected to your island and make a real impact.
15. Spend a Day Beach Hopping
Sometimes, the best adventure is just packing a cooler and visiting a few beaches in one day. Try Tumon, Tanguisson, and Gun Beach for a variety of views and vibes.
However you choose to spend your summer, I hope this list inspires you to get out, explore, and create memories that remind you why there’s no place like Guam.
