This beach is possibly the top spot for snorkeling. They have a security guard present until 5 pm to keep an eye on your car, but there are no lifeguards on duty. The swimming area is restricted by the reef, with only locals and divers equipped with special gear venturing beyond it. You can swim over the corals, and the water is always shallow enough for a 10-year-old to stand. Snorkeling here allows you to see most of the fish you'd find in Saipan, unless you're a diver. It's important to check the tide chart before heading out, as during low tide, it's challenging to swim without hitting the corals with your knees and belly. If you're looking for another snorkeling spot, Wing Beach is worth a visit, although it's a bit smaller than this beach.
