Guam is one of the 15 islands that make up the Mariana Islands. Today, this archipelago is divided into two U.S. political jurisdictions: the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) and the U.S. territory of Guam. Located in the heart of the Western Pacific, 13.4443° N, 144.7937° E, Guam is an unincorporated territory of the United States, the largest of the Mariana and Micronesian islands, and home to some of the warmest people in the world. Guam and the CNMI are two separate territories, but both are part of the Mariana archipelago and Micronesia. Known for its white sand beaches, coral reefs, and crystal-clear ocean waters, Guam and the CNMI are the perfect destination for families, honeymooners, scuba divers, and anyone who enjoys a tropical climate with warm temperatures and beautiful beaches, providing a great setting for relaxation and opportunities for outdoor adventures.
