Getting thereOn the eastern coast of Guam near Yona; steep road down from the highway
EntryFree

Tagachang sits on Guam's eastern coast below a steep road that drops off the highway to the shore, a beach of coarse sand and rock facing the open Pacific with a reef flat in front of it and no development behind. Because it is on the windward side it is rougher than the Tumon beaches and gets far fewer people. Picnic shelters sit under the trees at the back.

What you actually see

  • The windward coast - open Pacific conditions rather than sheltered lagoon.
  • The reef flat - the shallow shelf in front of the beach.
  • The steep access - the road dropping off the highway to the shore.
  • The quiet - a beach with almost nobody on it on most days.

When to go

December to June is the drier season. The eastern coast is rougher than the west year round. Weekends bring local families.

Honest expectations

The surf and currents on this coast are dangerous and swimming needs real care. The access road is steep and can be closed. Facilities are shelters and little else.

Nearby

Marbo Cave is north, and Talofofo is south.
