Wing Beach
A quiet beach in the Marpi area in the north, with reef snorkelling where coral and fish swarm. Across the water you can see Battleship Island and the northern coastline.
Wing Beach lies in the Marpi area at the northwestern tip of Saipan, near the former Marpi Airfield from WWII. The beach is crescent-shaped with fine white sand, and the water inside the reef is shallow and clear. It is one of the best places in the north for snorkelling, with coral, clownfish and sea cucumbers. Locals come to barbecue and camp here at weekends. The beach is quiet and basic, with no changing rooms or shops, so bring your own gear and drinking water. Pau Pau Beach and the northern wartime sites, including the Last Command Post and Banzai Cliff, are all within a 10-minute drive, making them easy to combine in a half-day loop. Strong currents run on the outer reef, so do not swim beyond the reef.
