Ritidian (Litekyan)

Located on the northernmost tip of Guam, Ritidian is one of the most spectacular and culturally rich places on island.  Formerly a restricted military area, Ritidian is now accessible to the public who wish to take in the unspoiled, natural beauty of the ocean and beaches.  Because of its relative isolation, it is a fairly popular site for fishing, swimming and picnicking.
