Address
A small island inside the lagoon west of Garapan, reached only by boat

From Garapan's beach it's a green speck sitting on the lagoon. Step off the boat and the water fans out in bands from sky blue to navy, over sand fine enough to walk barefoot at noon. The island closed after the April 2026 super typhoon and reopened on 7 September, but for now only the marked swimming zone and the shoreline are in use; the inland paths stay roped off. So think of it as a half-day soak in very clear water rather than the old walk-around-the-island picnic.
