Rota Municipality
Rota, the quiet and unspoiled island of the Northern Marianas, is known for its natural swimming pool, bird sanctuary and clear waters.
Rota Municipality corresponds to Rota Island in the southern Northern Mariana Islands, lying between Saipan and Guam. Lightly developed and laid-back, the island is known for its natural seawater pool (the Swimming Hole), a bird sanctuary, the ancient Chamorro latte stone quarry site and clear dive sites, making it ideal for a relaxing island escape away from the crowds. The dry season, roughly December to June, is the best time to visit. The island has Rota International Airport and is reached mainly by connecting flights from Saipan or Guam.
