Looking down the valley to the little village of Umatac, you can see what we call London Bridge. Umatac is belived to be where Magellan first landed.
I tried to get a picture of the monument the have, but there were too many people and no place to park. The village has a fiesta every year in honor of Magellan.

Going further, you see Cocos Island. It's a nice retreat you can go and visit. Snorkeling and diving is supposed to be awesome there. If you don't want to take the little boat (about a 30 min ride) you can rent a kayak and go yourself.

The dock at Cocos Island. I'm on Guam looking at the island. That's how close it is.
