I had a chance to do some sightseeing in the village of Hagatna, and while at Fort Santa Agueda I took some great photos overlooking Hagatna. In the left image you can see the village of Hagatna, Chamorro Village, Paseo Stadium and park – all in the foreground in front of the water. The village of Hagatna is the main business district on the island and is the location of the majority of local business offices and government agencies on Guam. During the weekdays the village is extremely busy, but on the weekends it turns into a ghost town because everything is closed in the area. Chamorro Village, the group of buildings with red-colored rooftops in the right-center of the picture, really isn’t a village but a group of small buildings with local merchants selling Chamorro arts, crafts, clothing, and local food. It’s another great destination for tourists to visit while on Guam. It’s hard to see the actual baseball field at Paseo Stadium in the picture, but just behind Chamorro Village you can see the large baseball field lights that illuminate the field on the weekends when teams from Guam’s baseball league are playing a game.
The photo on the right shows the Hagatna Boat Basin where local fishermen and tour companies dock their boats when not in use. You can also see the entrance to the boat basin which is a popular surfing and bodyboarding spot for the locals. Just watch out for the boats entering and exiting the channel!
