Sport & Activities

Watersports
Local dive shops offer daily charters to the popular sites. Attractions for divers include World War II wrecks, reefs and a variety of marine flora and fauna. A type of dolphin, the spinner dolphin, inhabits the island’s shallow bays. A number of creatures which hide in the corals during the day can be seen on night dives. Fully-equipped boats may be chartered for skindiving and snorkelling. Surfing facilities are available at coastal resorts. Most hotels have swimming pools, and there is a public pool in Hagåtña; the west coast offers safe bathing.

Fishing
Reef fishing with net and rod is popular, as is spearfishing for groupers and skipjacks and deep-sea fishing for marlin, tuna, wahoo, barracuda, bonito and sailfish.

Golf
There are several 18-hole courses. The Windward Hills Course has a clubhouse and pool, as does the Country Club of the Pacific. Visitors are welcome at both.

Other
Cycling and hiking are increasing in popularity and it is possible to take such trips through Guam’s jungle. Greyhound races are held three times a week.
