Tumon Bay

Guam / Barrigada / Barrigada Heights /
 bay, invisible
In the 1990s, as hotels filled up the beachfront property along Tumon Bay, the bay was dredged by the hotel community to remove the seaweed that frequently washed ashore and "despoiled the beauty" of the beach.
Currently, Tumon Bay, or Hotel Row, is a protected reserve, but it will take many years for the seaweed and fish to come back to their previous levels. The beach along Hotel Row was also covered with rocks, many of which were removed as well.

The northern part of Tumon Bay is the busiest and the most populous part of the Tumon Bay districts. Most of the hotels in Tumon are located in this area.

  • I went there once. It is very beautiful and lots of restaurants and stores. I enjoyed DFS shopping there. The beach is very nice but the problem is its very polluted in many of its sections. I almost stepped on a broken glass buried under the sand. I hope they clean the entire stretch. I heard it's a man-made beach. Is that true?
