Hafa adai!
Next, we are heading from Cetti Bay Overlook to Fort Soledad.
Just down the mountain road, you can see the Umatac monument.
There is also space to park your car, so feel free to take a commemorative photo with the sea in the background!
This is the entrance to Umatac village.
The road is narrow for a while as you enter the village, so please drive slowly.
After crossing a Spanish-style bridge, you will begin to climb the hill again.
The entrance to Fort Soledad is to the right as you climb the hill, but the sign is small, so be careful not to miss it.
It has the atmosphere of a park with sprawling grass.
Coconut juice was also being sold at the entrance.
In 1521, Magellan discovered Guam and landed at Umatac Bay during his voyage around the world.
During the subsequent Spanish colonial period, four fortifications, including Fort Soledad, were built in Umatac to protect trading ships from pirates.
After World War II, the Guam government developed this area into a park as it is today.
These are replicas of the watchtower and three cannons made of stone.
It’s a perfect position to see all the ships entering Umatac Bay.
