‘DESERTED’ is the first word that would come to your mind as soon as you emerge from the thicket that shelters the entrance to Wing Beach, one of Saipan’s seashore treasures.

Darkness was about an hour away, but I insisted on making a stop at this spot which I just heard about from others. The long fingers of dusk began to claim dominance over the skies, casting a somewhat eerie yet fascinating atmosphere.

The beach was practically isolated. The silence was broken only by the slapping of the waves in the distant reef, and by our presence. The long stretch of soft white sand seemed to defy our existence.

Secluded destination

There is something about Wing Beach that lures you to come back again and again. Turning off from the main road in Marpi, the dirt road that curbs its way around and amidst thick foliage will lead you deeper that you would feel you were already in the jungle, but you are just a few minutes away from your destination.
Running on the shores and leaving deep footprints on the sand is an exhilarating experience you must not miss. It is as if you have the whole place to yourself, and nothing else matters except you, the sea, the skies, and the sand on the shores.

Various shells scattered on the beach adds to its attraction. Wing Beach during the day is an entirely exciting and different experience, without the long shadows and the eerie stillness of the place. It is one of the popular places to hold picnics or get together with friends. You can visit the place just to pass time, take a dip in the ocean, commune with nature, draw figures or write your name on the sand. Or you can go diving.

Wing Beach, located on the northwest part of Saipan is one place you must not miss. Swing by for a view of some fantastic geographical features like breathtaking drop-offs and large, spectacular crevasses. Chances are you will come back to the place.
