Wing Beach

One of our study sites and my favorite snorkel spot on Saipan, Wing Beach is located at the northern end of the lagoon. The barrier reef comes within meters of the beach, providing awesome snorkeling right off the beach. Although rough and slightly dangerous at high tide, low tide is perfectly calm and offers the best viewing of staghorn corals and an abundance of reef fish.
