10 Most Instagrammable Places in Guam

Two Lovers Point in Tamsung is one of the most iconic sites in Guam, offering lookout points that provide breathtaking views of the Philippine Sea over a plunging cliff face. The cliff drops off a stark 400 feet to the crashing sea below, and you can take walkways that hang over the jagged rocks or look through telescopes for long-range views.

This is also the site of a tragic story about the daughter of a wealthy family who fell in love with a Chamorro warrior. The two threw themselves over the cliff to stop her arranged marriage in the face of an army. The legend gives this spot even greater depth for your Instagram feed.

Tanguisson Beach on the west coast offers a serene place to get away from it all with picnic and BBQ facilities, and the chance to take a staggering Instagram photo of a rock formation. The property is owned by a municipal power plant on the island's west coast, but it offers stunning views of gigantic rock formations that are brilliantly backlit at sunset. You can walk an unpaved road to a massive cliff to see them off to your left.

The rock formation is just part of the attraction here. You'll also find an undisturbed and rugged beach lined by manicured grass for public use. This is a great place for a break and a social media photo.

Fort Soledad on the west coast is the last of the original 4 forts built around Umatac Bay and offers superior views of the village, bay, coastline, and mountain range. This is among the most visited areas of southern Guam and is an icon of the Spanish history. It's named for Our Lady of Solitude and has stood since 1810. You can explore the hill as well as the village's many historic sites with a walking tour.

Mount Lamlam is the highest peak on the island and offers wonderful views of the sparkling ocean waters and rugged, untamed coastline below. You can reach the mountain peak by a short, challenging hiking trail to an elevation of 1,322 feet.

It's only about a 30-minute hike. Sunrise is the best time to ascend this mountain on the west coast. You'll get incredible views of the brilliant sunset and look out over the dazzling surroundings. Bring a light breakfast and snacks to just get away from it all and get back to nature.

The Latte of Freedom is a gigantic, one-of-a-kind stone structure and art installation offering awesome beach views, and it's one of the world's largest latte stones. Its appearance was intended to showcase the Mariana Islands' indigenous culture, and it features a plaque that pays tribute to those who helped raise funds for its completion. You can drive right up to the base of it, where parking spaces make it easy to access.

The latte stone overlooks Agana Bay and Asan Bay and affords unparalleled views of the island and ocean for miles around. It's also a historic symbol of the island, its culture, and its legacy.

Inarajan Natural Pool offers intriguing geology with natural bathing spots and rugged terrain with coral outcroppings that rise 20 feet and protect the spot.

Plaza de España is among the most famous landmarks on Guam and commemorates the Spanish occupation of the island with centuries-old historic structures to highlight on your Instagram feed. This plaza in the capital city of Hagåtña is the heart and soul of civic activities in Guam. The Governor's Palace was constructed in 1736 and has been home to government offices, a civic area, and historic monuments.

Today, it's the site where new governors are inaugurated. It makes for a great photo if you're interested in snapping Instagram pictures of important historic locations.

Asan Beach Park offers not only a gorgeous, scenic beach with outstanding ocean views, but also a range of memorials, relics, and educational plaques about the region's history.

The beach area is lined with coconut trees and is adjacent to a large public park where you can relax, enjoy a picnic lunch, or just run and play all day.

Whether you're looking to capture historic photos that tell the legacy of the island or you just want to kick back and recharge, this is a good location. Either way, it will be a highlight of your feed.
