Mata'pang
Beach is located in Tumon and makes up part of Tumon Bay. It
is one of the only two beach parks in Tumon with covered
pavilions which can be used by beach goers for barbequing or just
to get some shade from the hot tropical sun. There are six
small pavilions at Mata'pang Beach, and during the weekdays most
of them are free to use, but on weekends you'll be lucky to find
one open. The water off the coast of Mata'pang Beach
consists of a soft, |
 |
 |
sandy sea-floor with fairly
calm waters making it an excellent place to go swimming for
tourists. The variety of sea life in the water is minimal
due to the fact that their isn't much live coral in the
surrounding sea floor. If your looking to go snorkeling or
scuba diving a better area would be the water off the coast of
Joseph Flores Beach Park.
During the late afternoon, about an hour or two before the tropical sun
sets, locals take out the |
canoes you see lined
across the large lawn and the park is fairly busy during this
time.
Mata'pang Beach Park and Joseph Flores Beach Park are probably the only
two beach areas you can get easy access too if your traveling by
car. If your going to the beach during the weekend we
suggest you go to Joseph Flores Beach Park because Mata'pang Beach
Park is always filled to capacity and finding parking can take a
long time! |
