Saipan
A wartime history preserved in caves and cliffs where the fighting ended, a lagoon calm enough to be one of the best learn-to-dive spots in the Pacific, and a blue grotto cave you swim into through an underwater passage.
The best time to visit Saipan is Dec–Jun, when typical daytime highs reach about 29°C (85°F). Local time there is 02:49 (UTC+10).
