On the South and East sides of Rota, beaches are small and isolated. Often they are only accessible by climbing down steep slopes and walking through dense jungle. As visitor, if you are unsure about access to a particular beach, call the Marianas Visitors Bureau on Rota at 532-0327 and ask. The main swimming and tourist beach on Rota is this beautiful, palm tree surrounded stretch of sand. Across the main road is a backdrop of jungle covered mountain.
Teteto Beach is on the western side of the island.
The sand is ideal for sun bathing. The warm tropical waters are remarkably clear and pleasantly warm. The waters off Teteto beach range in depth from 3 to 5 feet and are ideal for swimming. Definitely, bring your mask and snorkel. The bottom is rather rocky, so it is suggested that visitors wear a pair of beach sandles for wading and swimming at Teteto beach.
