Guam's cuisine reflects its rich Chamorro heritage blended with American, Filipino, Japanese, and Korean influences. Chamorro barbecue is the signature style, featuring marinated meats grilled over open flames and served with red rice made with achote seeds. Keluaguen, a dish of marinated chicken, shrimp, or fish with lemon, hot peppers, and grated coconut, is a local staple. Finadene, a soy-based dipping sauce with lemon and peppers, accompanies most meals. Fresh seafood is abundant, with yellowfin tuna, mahi-mahi, and lobster commonly featured. Tropical fruits including mango, papaya, coconut, and breadfruit are available year-round.

Hagatna Bay and Asan offer a compelling combination of WWII historical wreck diving and vibrant reef systems in the central west coast of Guam. The shallow waters of Hagatna Bay contain numerous WWII landing craft, barges, and even Sherman tanks that were abandoned or sunk during the 1944 liberation of Guam. These war relics, now heavily encrusted with corals and sponges at depths of 5 to 20 metres, have become thriving artificial reefs teeming with lionfish, nudibranchs, and juvenile fish. The nearby Asan Cut provides exciting channel drift diving with strong currents attracting reef sharks, big-eye trevally, tuna, and barracuda. Asan Reef slopes gently with abundant macro life including pipefish, frogfish, and seahorses, and is known as a cleaning station for green sea turtles. Adelup Point adds rocky reef diving with schooling jacks and excellent night diving opportunities. The area is deeply connected to Guam's wartime history, with the Asan Beach unit of the War in the Pacific National Historical Park providing above-water context for the underwater experience.
