Wing Beach
A beach or boat dive near Saipan's northwest point, close to The Grotto, with large crevices, drop-offs, a crevasse at about 30 m and a wall with a tower and canyon. Visibility is excellent and sharks are common, with Spanish dancers at night. Diveable mainly in the calm summer season (about May–September); the dirt road to the beach is very poor and few shops visit regularly.
