Saipan: Pristine Beaches, Sublime Waters Hotels in South Pacific
Among the numerous islands dotted across the Marianas, Saipan stands out for its sublime beauty. This quaint island is fringed with crystal-clear beaches on its west and south coasts, and affords a majestic view of the Pacific on the north and east with rugged terrains and peaks. It's quite difficult to imagine that this tiny island was once part of decisive battle in the Second World War, when Japanese troops swooped down on the island to secure an advance point for the Imperial Army. You won't see any trace of the war now as you comb its beaches, but several kilometers beyond its shores, the mementos of the war still lie in the heart of the ocean, like sunken giants waiting to be roused up from their sleep.

Saipan is flanked on all sides by the Pacific, and to get an idea of how small the island actually is, you can get a 360 degree vantage point at the top of Mount Tapochao, Saipan's highest peak at 473 meters. Here you can look out to an endless horizon of deep blue ocean, with practically a patch of sand underneath your feet. You'll understand why the beaches of Saipan are known to be the best in all of Micronesia. Micro Beach is a favorite for tourists and locals alike; a kilometer's stretch of pristine white sand, developed but not spoiled, and boasts of a play park, and amenities for a variety of water sports. The view from this beach is picture-perfect; as a testament to its beauty, numerous Japanese television commercials were shot on this area.

Managaha Island is a minute island off of the coast, and accessible by boat. Fittingly referred to as the pearl of Saipan, the water surrounding it are truly crystal clear, a characteristic which is a godsend for all divers. You'll enjoy underwater visibility for a maximum distance of fifty meters, enough to see and touch the numerous war machine wrecks which lie all over the ocean floor. Lau Lau Beach is a great swimming spot, as well as thee palm-lined shores of Obyan Beach. From here you'll have an exhilarating view of Tinian Island just across the horizon. Whether you love to island hop or beach comb, Saipan has enough ground to cover and enjoy, ensuring that every minute of your tropical expedition is time well spent.

The Blue Grotto is a fascinating destination which is a bit off of the tired tourist path, but well worth the visit. This ocean cave is permeated by diffused sunlight coming from an underwater wall, lighting up the sea and bouncing off of the walls. Indeed, if you're looking for diving and snorkeling expeditions which afford new sights, Saipan is the place to be. You can view the Pacific from every vantage point, and if the urge for wanderlust persists, the opportunity for discovering beaches which other people have rarely trodden is always present. Saipan's shores afford you solitude along its sublime coasts, allowing you to get away from the stressful grind of life, and then experience it like never before.
