Lao Lao Beach is located in the southeastern part of the island, not far from the airport. It's a residential area, and you'll find the beach after you pass through it. This beach isn't very crowded, but the waves can sometimes be quite strong.

Lao Lao Beach is located in the south of Saipan. It is a popular diving spot for divers. It not only has a flat beach, but also has reefs on the island. Fortunately, there are fish storms and sea turtles.

The underwater world is really magical. Even people who are afraid of water can dive in. Lao Lao Bay is worth a visit.

The Lao Lao Bay scuba diving experience requires a long walk carrying 40 kilograms of gear. In addition, prolonged oxygen inhalation can make one's mouth dry. Those who can handle shore diving should give it a try. The underwater scenery is quite nice. Note: Those with long hair should tie it up.
I found a cute little hermit crab on the beach, but it will die if I take it away...

Lao Lao Beach is the only place in Saipan where you can scuba dive without a license. Of course, if you already have a license, I recommend skipping this spot. Besides the abundance of fish, the scenery is relatively ordinary. The Blue Hole or Butterfly Reef are much more enjoyable! Thankfully, the weather was excellent that day. Our shuttle was waiting for us at the hotel entrance before departure. We recommend not being late, as they are very punctual and can disrupt your schedule. Before you enter the water, the instructor will carefully and rigorously teach you the basics. First-time divers, be sure to follow the instructions carefully, as this involves a lot of scuba diving. After all, it's difficult to adjust to breathing underwater and moving forward, which can be very dangerous if things go wrong. Lao Lao is full of fish. The instructor will give you sausages to feed the fish and take photos of us when the fish approach.

Lao Lao Beach is a popular dive site for divers, boasting both a flat sandy beach and the island's largest reef. Thousands of small creatures can be spotted at Lao Lao Beach, including schools of wrasses, butterflyfish, surgeonfish, and many other species. This is an ideal spot for beginners and those who enjoy a vibrant array of creatures.

This is a great place for experiential diving, lots of fish

There are a lot of Japanese people who come to dive with their scuba tanks. There are two parking spots on Lao Lao: one with a sign, but few cars parked, and it doesn't seem to be where most people dive with their scuba tanks. The other, though I didn't notice any signs, was full of Japanese people diving with their scuba tanks. An SUV is required. The road is a natural muddy and sandy path. The scenery is absolutely stunning. The first time I went, I drove from south to north and parked in the first parking lot. There was a Lao Lao sign, but few cars. I then hiked for over 20 minutes, but didn't make it to the second parking lot (though I should have been closer, but I wasn't sure at the time, so I turned back). The second time, I went from Tank Beach and used the navigation system. Google actually took me down a road I'm not sure is a road (the tropical vegetation was growing beautifully).
It's so beautiful, it's all worth it.

Shallow open water with lots of sea cucumbers and turtles

Diving is a must-try. It's fun.

A good place for beginners to experience diving, shore diving, there is a rope underwater for beginners to hold on to.

I went diving with a group of people who were just trying to experience diving, and I was bored.

It seems to be the only place on Saipan to experience diving.

I went to this purple church near Lao Lao Beach. I like this kind of place very much. It is quiet and suitable for taking pictures.

The beach is very beautiful, with a long shallow beach. I went diving there, but the water was a little muddy, probably because of the ocean current.

A good place for diving. If you have a diving license, you should be able to see turtles.

Lao Lao Beach, experienced snorkeling, 5-7 meters deep, beautiful fish of various colors

It is a very famous diving spot, especially for experiencing deep diving. This time I failed to find a place to try deep diving, which left me with regret.

Lao Lao Beach is a popular beginner's dive site for divers. We saw many pickup trucks arriving with oxygen tanks in the parking lot. However, the road from the main road to Lao Lao Beach is a gravel section, so small cars like Mustangs can still make it in good weather. But remember to return the same way. We drove our SUV, hoping to avoid backtracking, and opted for a smaller road. We ended up having to reverse out halfway, which was a real shock. Therefore, if you're driving a small car, be sure to return the same way after visiting Lao Lao Beach.

Go diving with a group at Lao Lao Beach and see the huge underwater cliff

Very beautiful beach. It's nice to walk around and have fun.

Grandma Beach has become popular recently, and its most famous activity is kayaking.

There is nothing interesting about Lao Lao Beach, just a pile of rocks. The only purpose of coming here is diving, but that's enough hahaha, the diving is beautiful

Lao Lao Beach is mainly for diving, which is very fun.

The waves are quite strong and the wind is not small. You can also see hermit crabs and star sand. Not bad

It's so beautiful! We went scuba diving and persevered despite the severe pain from the ear pressure. Hahaha

This beach is the location where Running Man was filmed, and the scenery is pretty good.

Very beautiful! You must go! ! ! ! ! ! Detailed guide to Saipan, welcome to comment http://www.mafengwo.cn/i/5500919.html

I participated in the diving experience here. The coach drove to the hotel to pick me up. The underwater was very beautiful. I saw a lot of fish. There were many reefs on the beach, and locals were fishing. It would be boring to visit alone, but it is a good place to experience diving!

Lao Lao Beach boasts a flat sandy beach and the island's largest reef. The seabed is also rich in life, so if you enjoy small animals, you might want to check it out: schools of wrasses, butterfly fish, surgeonfish, and more.
I went with a friend and booked a snorkeling trip on Taobao through Lazy Cat Travel for 379 yuan per person. We were a bit nervous at first, but the instructor was quite patient. After a bit of practice, we got the hang of it. He gave us a rope with a swimming ring attached, which extended all the way to the bottom of the sea, so we could slowly descend. If you go again, be sure to pay attention and not focus too much on where you are or what you didn't do well. Just focus on the underwater world and the creatures around you, and you'll be less nervous. We had a lot of fun and took lots of photos.
A reminder to everyone: After arranging diving activities, you are not allowed to take a plane within 18 hours. Friends who want to go diving at Lao Lao Beach should pay attention to the reasonable time.
Also, if you want to take photos, remember to bring your own SD card. If you hire a travel agency to take photos, you will have to pay extra.

It was my first time to experience diving, it was amazing, but unfortunately there were not many fish.

The beach scenery is beautiful, it is a good place to sit there and watch the sea, empty yourself and enjoy life.

It is very suitable for experiencing diving, and even beginners who can't swim can have fun

The road is not easy to walk on, it is all small roads, but there are houses around. The characteristic of the beach is that the sea is full of water plants and there are many hermit crabs. But be careful to return to the original way when returning. If you go deep along the road, you will get lost and there will be no one.

I wanted to go to the Blue Hole, but it's connected to the open sea, so it's not safe! My husband strongly disagreed with me going (´°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ω°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥`), so he contacted this diving place. LaoLao is also a world-famous diving paradise! But I had a reaction and almost vomited ౿(།﹏།)૭

I went to a few beaches and got a bit confused. I don’t know which beach this is in my memory, but it should be beautiful.

If you can't swim, dive, or even deep dive, it's all fine, but you absolutely must go diving in Lolo. The water is seven meters deep, and there's a rope underwater to keep you contained. The scenery is fantastic, but be careful with the coral; it's very sharp and can easily scratch you. Also, don't go fishing just because there are so many fish; Nemo can bite!

Laulaube Beach is a famous diving spot in Saipan. Why? Of course, it's because Laulaube's marine life is abundant, making it ideal for deep diving. However, we recommend following local guidelines. First, Saipan's road signs are poorly established, and finding your way can be difficult without a map. Furthermore, most of the roads here are built by cars, not by people. Secondly, the depth of the water can be quite dangerous.
Those who don't dive can enjoy the beach. The water plants in the Lao Lao Bei shallows are soft and comfortable, and there are also small firefly blue fish here, which shuttle back and forth right at your feet, which is comfortable and relaxing. There are many more fish here than at Tank Beach, and the sea is full of vitality.

Between Mariana and Qingquan, there's a crescent-shaped bay. In the early morning, the waters appear an emerald blue. As dusk approaches, a different kind of tranquil beauty emerges: phoenix flowers fall, fish swim in the water. The beach is strewn with coral reefs, inviting two children to gather piles after piles...

It took only a few minutes to drive to the beach. It was noon, and as soon as my feet touched the water, I felt like I was in a bathhouse. The water was so hot that it burned my feet. Many sea cucumbers were limp in the cracks of the rocks. They looked so pitiful.

This spot was also quite difficult to find. We drove for a long time along the winding jungle road, and the sun was setting. By the time we arrived, the beach was deserted, and the only sound was the crashing of waves.

The most tiring part of diving at Lao Lao Bei is carrying your oxygen tank and lead weights into the sea and walking on the rocks to the entrance of the diving hole. It is a very arduous process.

Lao Lao Beach is very small, so it is not recommended if you are traveling by car.

Lao Lao Beach is a popular dive site for divers, boasting both a flat sandy beach and the island's largest reef. Thousands of small creatures can be seen at Lao Lao Beach, including schools of wrasses, butterflyfish, surgeonfish, and many other species. This is an ideal spot for beginners and those who enjoy a vibrant array of creatures.

The water in Saipan is truly different. The water is crystal clear, and you can clearly see the small rocks in the water. Our local guide even arranged a special gun shooting activity, which was fantastic. My husband had a blast playing with the skipping stones, while I even got my pants soaked by the waves.

Lao Lao Beach is considered the best diving spot in Saipan, and it is an experiential diving spot, so even if you can't swim, you can carry an oxygen tank and dive to the bottom of the sea about 8 meters to see the beautiful water world.

There was only one rope, and I could only pull it, which was safe. It reminded me of what everyone talks about as walking on the seabed... There were strong undercurrents in this sea, which always pushed you to move around, making it impossible to balance. The person in front of me always stopped, and once they stopped, they would sink to the bottom of the sea and could not swim. The seabed was full of reefs, and my hands were bumped and had many wounds.

This is the only natural beach where you can take your children snorkeling. We did find quite a few local children, but other than that, there were very few people and the sea was shallow.

No tickets are required. It was a bit cloudy when I went there, so the sea didn't seem so open, but it's really well protected and pristine. The downhill stone steps are covered with plants, and I didn't think it was a road to the scenic area. The beach is also very clean, and there are people snorkeling here, and there are a lot of coral reefs.

There was no place to change clothes near laulau so everyone went back to the hotel in their swimsuits.

The underwater world is beautiful and I even saw turtles. The diving instructor was very considerate.

It is one of the only two beaches with star sand, where you can dive deep and see turtles.

In fact, in a place like Saipan, any beach can beat domestic beaches in minutes. It’s not because of worshipping foreign things, but when you really see such a sea, you will know what the real sea is and what the real sea and sky are like.
Lao Lao Beach is famous for its star sand. Legend has it that seeing star-shaped sand will bring good luck to people, so people come here one after another to look for star sand, hoping to bring luck to themselves and their families.

Few people, you have the whole beach to yourself, no interference
Star sand isn't actually sand, but rather resembles the skeletons of dead parasites or similar creatures. Grab a handful and look closely, and you'll see dozens of square, pentagonal, and hexagonal star-shaped sands—quite stunning!

It was like we had the whole place to ourselves, there were really very few people there, and it was comfortable with fewer people, unlike the islands in China where there were people everywhere.

A very nice American couple, with stunning scenery, what more could one ask for?

Lao Lao Beach is a favorite spot for locals to go diving, but when we got there, we found it was completely deserted! ~ It feels like a wealthy person has reserved the beach for themselves, haha. It should be noted that the road to Lao Lao Beach is not easy to walk on for a while, so it is recommended to rent an off-road vehicle.
It is said that this place is very attractive to locals for diving because of its rich coral reefs, reefs and local small animals. When it was almost time to leave at noon, locals came to dive one after another. If you want to find a quiet diving spot, this is a better choice.

The beach here has a gentle slope and there are special ropes. Divers can follow the ropes to explore the underwater scenery.

There were a lot of fish and big turtles. The coach said we were lucky enough to see a turtle. Haha, you usually don’t see that.

Lao Lao is one of Saipan's top diving spots, and most visitors come here for scuba diving. The day we visited was cloudy and drizzling, which somewhat affected the underwater scenery. Light was insufficient, and the water was slightly murky. Pray for good weather when you're on a beach trip. The drive to the shore was a long, unpaved road, surrounded by dense jungle and numerous oversized versions of the Weeping Goddess of Mercy. The dive instructor kept pulling out overgrown vines from the back of a pickup truck to prevent them from obstructing traffic. The guide mentioned the remains of a World War II ammunition depot on the nearby hills. The diving was shore-based, and it didn't take long to reach the edge of the coral reef, where the drop to the shore was quite significant. It's best to be accompanied by a guide when exploring the waters of Saipan's east and south beaches, as the shoreline quickly becomes deep and the area is sparsely populated, making for a dangerous dive.

My favorite beach, the baby before sunset, seems to add a hint of blue to the milky white water. It is clean and peaceful. There are few people. It has just rained, and you can smell the special scent of plants and the sea. The light...

Arriving at Lao Lao Beach... you'll find it's pretty much the same as Mike Beach, Tank Beach, and so on. There's really nothing special about it, so I didn't bother taking photos. The only special thing is that Lao Lao Beach supposedly has Saipan's star sand. Also, this place is a great place for snorkeling, so I guess the underwater scenery is pretty good.

The sun has already set. The cost-effectiveness of coming here is not very high, so I personally feel that it is okay not to come!
The sand on the beach is not very fine, so you can't go barefoot, but it's covered with corals and there are a lot of hermit crabs!!!

Any beach in Saipan is beautiful, but there are still many fallen leaves on the beach.

The road to the beach was not easy to find, and we asked twice before we finally got to Lao Lao Beach. The scenery was very beautiful, and the beach was covered with large and small corals.

The sea water is emerald green, you can come and visit by car, recommended

This is Baby Beach, just south of the Mariana Hotel. Sunshine, sand, pristine water, beer, beautiful women, and handsome men—this is life. When we arrived, two local families were having a barbecue, and their children were playing in the water.

I found a blue sea star here at Baby Beach and was very excited! There are few divers, but the current here is quite strong. When snorkeling, I drift further and further away, and my swimming speed can't keep up with the speed of the water.

Lao Lao Beach has a flat sandy beach and the largest reef on the island, making it one of Saipan's ideal diving spots. It's truly beautiful. Lao Lao Beach is hidden deep in the jungle. In order to preserve the original ecology, the government insists on not building roads. Without a four-wheel drive off-road vehicle, you dare not go to Lao Lao Beach.

There are no tourists at Baby Beach at all, only a few locals swimming. It is very quiet and beautiful.

This is a natural diving spot. Unlike other beaches, there is no sand here. Extending into the water is a shallow area formed by natural reefs. When you walk through the shallow area, the water depth will suddenly drop, creating conditions for diving.
After a brief explanation from our Korean instructor, we began our scuba diving adventure. Pulling the rope, we lined up and entered a landscape unlike any we'd ever experienced before. The allure of the seabed is beyond words. Heihei, though sturdy, swam like a fish. I imitated his movements, and though I still didn't dare to let go of the rope, I gradually felt myself becoming one with the sea. Then, all of a sudden, I spotted Nemo, wandering among the anemones!

The sea at Lao Lao Beach isn't anything special, just a different style. But!!! One thing is truly unique: the road leading to and from this spot to the Forbidden Island is truly thrilling. You pass a speed limit sign. 5km? Did you know? 5km, you read that right! Even idling at normal speed is faster than that! The reality is, small cars can't even get in, and even regular SUVs struggle. Hummers and jeeps can easily navigate. It's a truly natural dirt road. You'll encounter all sorts of insects, reptiles, pheasants, small trees, and deep potholes. If you're not careful, you could end up in a ditch. It's thrilling! I highly recommend trying it, but forget it if you're timid.

A turquoise sea is the best way to describe it... It is just behind the small road next to Palm Resort. There are not many tourists, but many locals, which makes it a unique place.
There aren't many tourists here, many locals are barbecuing and swimming... Just enter through the small path next to Palm Resort! It's closer to Saipan life! The blue sea is beautiful... It's said to be the emerald blue sea

Finally, my husband and I decided to snorkel at Pau Pau Beach. There was no one else in the water, just the two of us. In one word: awesome. It felt like a private beach. It felt like we had the whole fish pond to ourselves. There weren't many fish at Pau Pau Beach, which my husband attributed to the lack of reefs or corals. But we still managed to swim for two hours. Surrounded by the sea, bobbing up and down with the waves, it felt like returning to the safety and freedom of the womb.
I went to the seabed twice. The equipment was super heavy. I had to carry the oxygen tank on my back and walk to the seabed. It was like participating in military training...
We went in two different directions, one to see fish and one to see turtles. I chose to do two dives because someone said there was a higher chance of seeing a school of fish, but in reality, I didn't see anything...
