This pristine white-sand beach island is like something from a movie. Palm trees come out of the sand at an angle, providing shade near the clear-blue water. You don't have to go far to swim among schools of tropical fish and a coral reef. There is no cost to be on the island, only to take the ferry from the mainland. If you are a local (and have a Saipan drivers license), the ferry is free.
