- Asan Bay Overlook — A cliffside lookout with sweeping views over Asan Bay and the landing beaches. Old concrete fortifications sit right on the rim, so you get raw Pacific panoramas and a dose of wartime ruins in one quick stop. Great for sunset photos and spotting seabirds riding the thermals.
- Asan Beach and Landing Sites — Shallow sandy beaches fronted by fringing reef and scattered relics. Easy walking, tidepools to poke through, and decent shore snorkeling when the swell is small. It’s where the history meets the reef life: butterflies of fish, corals, and small invertebrates in the shallows.
- Agat Beach Unit (Agat Bay) — A quieter bay with mangrove edges, good coral gardens and clearer water for snorkeling. You’ll often see reef fish and occasionally turtles. The shoreline has pockets

- Agat Beach Unit (Agat Bay) — A quieter bay with mangrove edges, good coral gardens and clearer water for snorkeling. You’ll often see reef fish and occasionally turtles. The shoreline has pockets of sand and rocky outcrops that make for mellow exploring and picnics.
- Piti Gun Battery — Dramatic concrete gun emplacements perched above Piti Harbor. The steep approach is worth it for the views and the coastal atmosphere; tidepools and rocky shorelines below attract shorebirds and small marine life. Pack water—the climb can be surprisingly hot.
- Mount Tenjo Overlook & short trails — Compact, shaded trails that reward you with panoramic vistas over Asan and the central coast. You’ll find remnant jungle, native plants, and interpretive ruins along a walk that’s short but scenic—good when you want a quick nature hit without a full-day hike.
- Coastal tidepools and snorkeling pockets — Scattered around the park’s southern units are tiny ecosystems: limpets, crabs, colorful reef fish and sometimes nudibranchs. Best explored at low tide or calm mornings. Bring reef shoes and be mindful of corals—easy nature encounters for budget travelers.
- Shorebird and seabird watching — The park’s coastal cliffs, rocky points and mangrove fringes attract a variety of shorebirds and seabirds. Early morning or late afternoon walks can turn up foraging plovers, terns and other coastal species—low-effort wildlife viewing with scenic backdrops.
