Marianas Treasures - Lau Lau Bay Blues CLOSE WINDOW
Lau Lau Bay Blues
Lau Lau Bay: One of life's great escapes.
Imagine...  You are snorkeling, scuba diving, or just splashing around, cooling yourself off in Lau Lau Bay's beautiful, clear, blue water with not a single worry in the world?  As light and carefree as a seabird, gliding on the cool ocean breezes?  And not another soul in sight, except for your dear comapnion(s).  No, it's not just a dream, my friends, but a very real experience here in the Marianas.  We're all so lucky to be able to enjoy this truly special group of islands, filled with such incredible beauty and dozens of "cool spots" to escape to (read: no crowds).  My advice:  Life is short, plan YOUR escape today and GO FOR IT!
