Booking.com

San Juan Beach (Northern Mariana Islands) is located outside the Capitol Hill settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.

The beach stretches on the coast of the Saipan island, but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.

User reviews

"The beach is stunning and isolated, but the road leading to it is challenging and requires a 4×4 truck or SUV. It's important to remember to pack out your trash when visiting, as it detracts from the natural beauty of the area. Thank you for helping keep the beach clean and enjoyable for all."

"It's recommended to bring a 4WD SUV to this beach as a sedan is likely to get stuck."
