Generally thought to be the location of Magellan's first landing. Has an annual festival dedicated to and called "Discovery Day". Also features a reproduction of a Spanish Bridge, made from stone.
Umatac is located on the southern end of the island about a 35-40 minute drive from downtown Hagatna from Marine Corps Drive. A two lane winding road weaves it's way through the southern villages. Speed limit is down to 25 mph in some areas. No need to rush. Take your time and enjoy the drive. There are many stopping points along the way that will provide you with some excellent photo opportunities. This photo was taken from an old Spanish fort overlooking Magellan bay.
