Lau Lau Beach is a popular diving spot on the eastern side of Saipan. The entry to get to the beach area is remotely located. You need to go on a bumpy dirt road through the jungle and it is suggested you have a 4-wheel drive vehicle if you plan on making a trip out to this area. The area is fairly secluded but it does get busy at times as many people come to Lau Lau Beach for diving activities.
There is an abundance of sea life in Lau Lau Bay ranging from sea turtles to many species of fish, octopus, eels, crabs, a large variety of coral, anemone and much more.
The lagoon portion of Laulau Beach which is protected by the coral reef is fairly shallow and you can walk in the warm, shallow water. Great for beach combing!

Wear water shoes if walking the beach; if snorkeling; or if SCUBA. It is mainly a SCUBA location, but we snorkeled. Clear waters, bright colored fish, and live coral. You walk a bit out to the shelf drop – but watch where you walk as it is very rocky, full of dead and live coral. You can literally jump off the coral and into the sea and snorkel, swim, SCUBA, have fun. There were local kids jumping into the water from the coral shelf and swimming around. Lots of SCUBA folks. My group like the snorkeling so much, they went again. The current is a bit strong, meaning after 30 minutes of floating, it will take about 45 minutes to swim back to where you jumped into the open sea. Shoes very recommended as a member of our party was pushed into the coral as he was trying to come back in by a wave and hit his foot on the coral and an urchin, injuring himself with lots of spines.
The road to Lau Lau Beach is unpaved, not even, and two rough patches scraped the bottom of our rental car. There is a paved parking lot, with a security guard, but no restroom facilities. Locals had trucks and small cars down there too.

Lau Lau Beach is nice beach to spend the day. Unlike a few of the other beaches on Saipan Lau Lau has a nice area with some 3-4' deep water to swim/ snorkel. Most of the beaches are very shallow due to the barrier reef around the island. Make sure you wear some sort of foot protection at most of the beaches if you plan on walking in the water. There is dead coral in many areas and it is very sharp.

I dove here twice with Aqua Connections. This beach is amazing for diving. I don't recommend it for sunbathing and snorkeling might be difficult with the spur and groove formations and the current. The beach is mostly coral rubble (wear shoes/booties) and flat reef/rock. The water is less than a foot deep. There is a ledge where the spur/groove formations start and you have to enter the water through a groove. There are guide ropes because the current can be strong in the grooves. I wouldn't recommend diving here without a guide since the grooves can be somewhat labyrinth-like unless you're really good at navigation. I saw many fish, my favorite were the clown/anemone fish, and turtles eating. The turtles did not care about divers at all. I've never seen turtles so comfortable with people around. I loved this place.

The roads were extremely treacherous and no warnings that the road that follows the beach eventually turns into a rough, rock trail and drop off. Make sure to take an SUV or truck to get there or tour the entire beach shoreline.

Tons of little crabs and coral along the beach. Truly a beautiful place to visit once you know what you are in for! Bring water shores due to the large pieces of broken coral versus sandy beach areas.

Majority of my advanced open water diver course was done in Lau Lau Beach. In comparison to other dive sites, Lau Lau Beach has the shortest walking distance in terms for shore dives. However, still beware of the holes while walking towards the drop down, cause my friend accidentally stepped into a hole and sprained her ankle with 20kg scuba gears on!

Conditions were not ideal for our check out dives, due to 3 typhoons, yes count em 3, within a thousand miles on Aug 1. Still we enjoyed our dives complete with octopus experience, turtle pics and the fish ball...all promised and delivered by our Awesome guide Jay. You an ask for Jay at the Safe House. Also, ask how to reach East End snorkeling and cliff jumping spot at the end of Lau Lau Drive past the beach.

We set out of Lau Lau for our first dive on Saipan. It was a good experience to learn from he local guide on the ropes used to get out of the reef. The visibility and marine life were great. A fun day and dive site that is relatively easy.

Off the beaten track beautiful area to relax and go snorkeling. You have to walk out to the reef drop off, and waves can be strong so be careful. Don't go alone. Beautiful fish and corals to see.

Personally, Lau Lau is my favorite beach on the island. It will give you a great opportunity of wandering along the shoreline and just enjoying the water and the waves.
The water itselfis not very deep and stays quite shallow for a long time when actually walking into the ocean.
