Cocos Island is a long, narrow islet on an atoll off Merizo at the southern tip of Guam. It has soft white sand, and the shallow, clear lagoon is good for snorkeling, kayaking, and beach play. Sea turtles and tropical fish are often seen here. From the Merizo pier, the boat ride takes about 10 to 15 minutes. In the past, access was mainly through resort day trips and local boat operators. Landing arrangements and opening status have changed in recent years, so be sure to confirm with a travel agency or the Merizo pier before setting out. Merizo village itself has a bell tower and monastery ruins from the Spanish period. It is about a one-hour drive from Tumon Bay.
