We were told by locals to visit The Beach Bar on Tumon Bay. After a long day of working we drove down Gun Beach Road just minutes from the Westin Resort. At the end of the road there is a large parking area that fronts what looks like a restaurant/bar you would see in Mexico. There are volleyball courts and a game where you throw bags filled with sand at a target. Both the volleyball courts and bag throwing games were filled with young American soldiers having a much needed break from their duties. We entered the large open air hut type structure to find loud music and dozens of soldiers enjoying large amounts of cold beverages. Some sat quietly in a daze while others whopped it up like I remember doing in my twenties. These guys were letting loose and they deserve it. We looked at the view and walked to the bar. Took a few minutes to get the attention of the bartender, but we got a few cold beers and set up at a table near the ocean. The music blared and drunk people were all around. Took us about two minutes to realize that we were two old guys wearing pants and golf shirts among a platoon of twenty year olds with no shirts. I thought about taking my shirt off but quickly shelved that thought after feeling my belly touching the table. We finished one beer and left to have dinner. The Beach Bar is a great place for the young who want to spend a day drinking. The Bar also serves food and even puts on local style Chamorro BBQ's. There is plenty of seating under the hut, on the deck and even on the beach where they have placed lounge chairs and seating areas. There is an adjacent table area away from the hoopla where you can enjoy a beachfront meal and cocktail. I will try dinner here during my next visit to Guam. It was great to see the great men and woman who serve our country enjoying a moment on the beach in Guam. I could not help but think what hell hole they could be shipped out to in a matter of days, weeks or months. This was "there" time to let loose and party on American soil.
