Guam Ritidian Private Beach Snorkeling Tour

The Last Paradise of Guam, Opening the Gates | Ritidian Private Beach Snorkeling

If you ask seasoned travelers who have visited Guam many times to name the 'best beach,' nine out of ten will mention this place without hesitation. Beyond the military area restricted to the public, it is a place that preserves pristine, primitive nature that only the permitted can set foot on.

We invite you to a special snorkeling tour to the 'Ritidian Private Beach,' Guam's hidden gem and final paradise.

🌴 1. Everything About Ritidian Beach

A trip is more enjoyable the more you know! Learn about Ritidian Beach, which embraces beautiful, grand nature.

A Sacred Land Where Nature and History Breathe

National Wildlife Refuge: Most of Ritidian Point is designated as a protected area by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service due to its high ecological conservation value. It boasts untouched nature inhabited by endangered species such as fruit bats and sea turtles. (The tour is safely conducted only in a portion of the permitted private property.)

Ancient Chamorro Ruins: The jungle behind the beach is also a historic site where latte stones and artifacts, traces of the lives of ancient Chamorro people from thousands of years ago, are found.

Dazzling Coral Beach and Magnificent Scenery

Natural Coral Sand: Unlike the artificially created Tumon Beach, it is made of white coral powder and seashells crushed by waves, sparkling brilliantly under the sunlight.

Unique Sand Texture: The grains are coarse and rough, which is evidence of a healthy ocean. Wearing water shoes is essential to protect your feet.

Limestone Cliff Screen: The beach is surrounded by white limestone cliffs eroded over a long time, creating a primitive and magnificent landscape.

A Living Giant Aquarium, Phenomenal Underwater Environment

Half Water, Half Fish: Because it is untouched by human crowds, it preserves the healthiest marine ecosystem in Guam. You can expect to see tens of thousands of tropical fish, and if you are lucky, even baby blacktip reef sharks (harmless) or sea turtles.

Living Coral Garden: Colorful hard and soft corals form a massive underwater garden. It is a sanctuary for various marine life such as parrotfish, butterflyfish, and Nemo (clownfish).

🆚 2. Private Beach VS Public Beach: A Perfect Comparison

The place we are heading to is 'Ritidian Private Beach,' which offers a level of convenience that is on a different scale from the 'public beach' visited individually.

Operating Hours: Public beaches are closed on Mon/Tue and without notice during military training, but the private beach operates reliably every day.

Facilities: Public beaches lack showers/restrooms, but the private beach is fully equipped with outdoor showers and restrooms.

Beach Equipment: At public beaches, you have to bring everything yourself, but at the private beach, cabanas, parasols, tubes, and sand play sets are all provided.

Food: Public beaches have no kiosks, but the private beach has a shop selling Han River-style ramen, snacks, and drinks.

Transportation: Public beaches are only accessible by rental car (risk of damage on unpaved roads), but the private beach provides a safe and comfortable pickup vehicle service. (Individual travel by rental car is also possible.)

⭐ 3. 7 Key Charms of Ritidian Private Beach

Relaxed Beach: A maximum of 40-50 people are admitted privately each time, allowing for a secluded experience.

Peaceful Healing Snorkeling: Thanks to the wide, shallow waters, safe snorkeling that leans more towards healing than extreme activity is possible.

Perfect 'Water-Gazing' Time: It is a great place to clear your mind with the sound of quiet waves under the provided cabanas and parasols.

Child-Friendly Environment: With shallow waters and free sand play toys and children's tubes provided, it is perfect for visiting with kids.

Everywhere is a Photo Zone: From the famous swing photo spot to every corner of the beach, it is filled with spots to satisfy your social media aesthetic.

Full-Option Facilities: Just bring your towel. Everything from free equipment rental to convenient facilities is provided.

Delicious Snack Time: A shop (offering Han River-style ramen, etc.) awaits to satisfy your hunger after playing in the water.
