The Agat Invasion Beach is the longer of Guam's two designated landing beaches from the 1944 liberation — the other is at Asan, eight miles north. The beach is a flat curve of pale sand running north from Gaan Point for nearly two miles, backed by coconut palms and the road south to Umatac. Most of the time it is nearly empty. Locals fish from the reef edge, and the calm water inside the lagoon is good for wading and snorkelling.
The whole strip is part of the War in the Pacific National Historical Park, so there is no development directly on the sand. Wreckage from the landings — pieces of amphibious tractors, anchors, gun barrels — still lies on the seabed and is occasionally visible at low tide. Bring water and shade; there are few facilities except at Gaan Point itself.
