Laulau Bay
A wide bay on the east coast, where shore diving reveals sea turtles, rays and coral walls. It is one of Saipan's top spots for diving.
Laulau Bay lies in the middle of Saipan's east coast. It is a wide bay with a gently sloping reef and the island's most popular shore diving and introductory diving location. Underwater you can see coral walls, sea turtles, rays and shoals of tropical fish. Many dive shops here offer PADI courses and one-day introductory dives, with Chinese-language services available. The Laulau Bay Golf Resort lies to the north of the bay, and Forbidden Island can be seen in the distance to the south. The beach access road is in fair condition, so it is advisable to book a dive shop transfer. Visitors who are not diving can snorkel from the shore too, but should avoid the reef rocks at low tide. There is a Latte Stone site in the nearby woods at Laulau Katan.
