Facpi Point, cape of Guam, Marianas
Facpi Point is a cape on the southwest coast of Guam that extends into the sea and offers wide views of the ocean. The area consists of rocky terrain with steep cliffs dropping directly into the water, creating a rugged coastline with natural rock formations shaped by waves.
Facpi Point was designated a National Natural Landmark in 1972 to protect and preserve its special natural features. The headland historically served as a navigation point and lookout post for seafarers and fishermen who used the waters.
Facpi Point holds meaning for the local communities of Agat and Umatac, who have used and cared for this land for generations. The site reflects how island residents connect with nature and the sea through everyday activities like fishing and visiting the headland.
You can reach the site by car to a small parking area nearby, then walk along the coastline on designated paths. Wear sturdy shoes, bring water and sunscreen, and stay cautious on the rocky terrain and steep edges.
A small island called Facpi Island sits just off the coast of the headland and is often visible from the main point. The island is tiny but provides an interesting focal point that visitors can spot from above or sometimes visit.
