How to get

Not so long ago, direct weekly charters of Orenburg Airlines from Khabarovsk and Vladivostok were launched on Guam, and once in two weeks - from Blagoveshchensk, Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk and Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. From other Russian cities, the most convenient option is to fly a Korean Air flight with a dock in Seoul or the Japan Airlines and Continental aircraft with docking in Tokyo.

From Guam International Airport it will be most convenient to get by bus (about $ 2 per trip). The cost of a taxi ride is $ 3 for the first mile, and $ 0, 6 for every 0, 25 miles beyond that.

Beach

The highlight of Tumon - a chic kilometer beach with snow-white sand, bordered by a coral reef. Thanks to this natural barrier, the beach is protected from high ocean waves. Formed by the reef, the shallow turquoise lagoon with warm, clear and calm water attracts many tourists - here the world-class hotels rise, including the Marriott, Hyatt, Sheraton, etc. networks.

The beach itself Tumon Bay Bay is famous for its unique composition and appearance of sand. It is not only surprisingly white, clean and unusually soft - in each grain of sand there are tiny orange grains with star-shaped dots. These are the inclusions of petrified shells of tiny protozoa living on the reefs of Guam and nowadays, in crystals of calcium carbonate. For an exotic look such a sand was called "Star sand" or "Starry sand."
