Another western-shore city (or village as the Guamanians call it), Tamuning had over 18,000 residents in its last census. It is a municipality with an economy primarily funded by the U.S. military located there. However, it is also a big tourist area with its immaculate golf courses, exciting duty-free shopping, and incredible aquatic opportunities like jet skiing, lying on the beach, fishing, snorkeling, and more. In fact, the tourist center of Guam – Tumon – is located here. Because of its close proximity, about 90% of the tourists that visit are from Japan.

However, Tamuning is more than just a tourist or military city. It is the economic center of Guam and is home to the largest road on the island, commercial districts, the Antonio B. Won pat International Airport, and the Guam Army National Guard among many other things.
