Talofofo Bay, Marine inlet on southeastern coast of Guam.

Talofofo Bay features distinctive brown sand beaches formed by silt deposits from the Talofofo River at its mouth.

During World War II in 1941, Japanese forces utilized Talofofo Bay as a strategic landing point during their invasion of Guam.

Local residents refer to the area as Surfside or Talirajan, marking the geographical boundary between the villages of Talofofo and Inalahan.

The low-lying cliffs surrounding the bay contain numerous rock pockets that serve as nesting areas for various marine species.

A Japanese freighter, the Aratama Maru, rests as a shipwreck at the bottom of Talofofo Bay since World War II.
