Known for its pristine beaches, crystal clear waters and friendly people, visitors can snorkel and dance with the coral at Talofofofo Bay or climb the cliffs of Puntan Dos Amantes for a breathtaking view of the Philippine Sea. The village retains its traditional coconut groves and Spanish colonial-style buildings, and the weekly fish market offers freshly caught local seafood. Compared to the hustle and bustle of Guam's popular tourist areas, Merizo is a hidden paradise, perfect for experiencing the slow life of the Pacific and the untouched island flavor.
