Saipan is the largest of the Northern Mariana Islands, a U.S. commonwealth in the Western Pacific. Saipan is a great place for World War II buffs. There is also an airplane in the lagoon that attracts divers from around the world. If you want to catch up on your World War II history, stop by Memorial Park and check out the museum.
Saipan is famous for its white sand beaches. The most popular beaches are Micro Beach, in front of the Hyatt Resort, and Managaha Beach, which is just a short boat ride from Micro Beach on the island of Managaha.
Memorial Park is a popular place for both tourists and locals. There are walking paths, gardens, monuments, flowers, a footbridge, and places to grill for picnics.
Banzai Cliff is located in the northern part of Saipan and offers some amazing views of the Pacific Ocean and the crashing waves below the cliffs.
Suicide Cliff is so named because Japanese civilians and soldiers jumped off of the cliff to their deaths during World War II to avoid surrendering to the American soldiers.
Bird Island is a popular destination for tourists because of the amazing view from the lookout, one of the most popular places to take photos in Saipan.
A trek to Forbidden Island is a must if you’re going to visit Saipan, and is a perfect day hike. Hike down the ridgeline until you emerge on the beach for a dip in the tide pools.
