Introduction

Tachonga Beach is a quiet white-sand bay on Tinian. Crystal-clear, calm water suits swimming and snorkelling, and with few visitors you may have the shore almost to yourself. At dusk the sunset gilds the sand, making it a serene stop for anyone exploring the island by car.

Highlights

White Sand
Soft white sand meets clear blue shallows, a natural stage for photos and barefoot strolls.
2
Clear Snorkelling
The nearshore water is translucent; just put on a mask to watch tropical fish and coral.

All to Yourself
Tinian sees few tourists, so you may have this whole bay to yourself.
