Fish Eye

At the tourist destination known as Fish Eye, visitors walk out on a bridge over the ocean then down a stairwell until they are below sea level. Looking out you can see many Guam fish in their natural habitat as well as some tourist (mainly Japanese) divers not in their natural habitat.

Legend has it that two forbidden lovers came to this cliff, tied their hair together, and jumped to their deaths. Now it's a tourist trap.
