Saipan Day 2 - The First Beach Day

Day 2 - December 30

Jean-Marc and I got into a routine pretty quickly. We would sleep in, eat some breakfast in our room (something we bought in town the night before), get ready, and head out for lunch and the afternoon. Our first beach day was at the Main Beach in Garapan. We found some chairs and relaxed the afternoon away and watched the sunset. We had bought some cheap snorkel gear in town and decided to try it out in the large bay. This beach is protected by a huge natural breakwater, creating a calm, shallow area all along the west coast of the island. We discovered that we really liked snorkelling and, after acquiring a tourist map of the island, we decided to explore the island ourselves and scoot to some of the remote beaches for snorkelling.

Nailed it.

We also developed a night routine that included returning to the hotel to shower and heading back into town for dinner at a restaurant, usually recommended by TripAdvisor. That night we ate dinner at Shenanigans, a restaurant on the main strip that had amazing pasta dishes and burgers. We loved it.

We topped off the evening by having pedicures to make our feet look dashing.
