Since I was on the island for a week-long business trip & just came from a week in Japan, I had one medium sized suitcase filled with clothes for both climates. (Japan was 20-30 degress colder than Guam!)
Tropical weight clothing...sandals or another comfortable walking shoe are a 'must', running or hiking shoes for the adventurous. Running/jogging is probably the best way to see any area!
If you forget anything non-prescriptive, there are a number of drugstores within 15 minutes of anywhere.
For the birdlovers, a camera w/high speed film is highly suggested ...there are very few birds around, so when you see one, snap away! There are tons of lovely flora around for the botanists out there.
You can rent pretty much anything for the outdoors on the island. Leave a Comment

by Trina2383 Just make sure you go to Wal-Mart before you head to Guam. Because there isn't a single one on this island. Leave a Comment

by frir one bag will be fine, but make sure you bring a medium beach bag to take with you to the beach every day.
Bikini if you use one or anything else to go in the water, shorts comfortable shirts it gets really hot sometimes, shoes to use inside the water (very important) sunblock or oil, comfortable shoes and sandals.
They have everything!! Leave a Comment

The weather in Guam is ALWAYS: 88 F with a chance of an afternoon thunderstorm. Always. Dress appropriately. Leave a Comment

I would suggest shorts, shirts, and 20 different bathing costumes, you can live in them. Sandals, trainers, and water shoes. Bring a nice outfit to go out on the town. Leave a Comment

Nearly every day on Guam is sunny and in the mid 80's so be prepared for it. Lots of time is usually spent at the beach, T-shirts and shorts are accepted pretty much everywhere. Even evenings out rarely ever get anything more than buisiness casual here, it's a laid back island life so throw away the ties. As far as shoes go sandles, and some tennis shoes should get you everywhere you need to go.
You can find most every major brand when you get here, medical kits should have plenty of sunscreen and sunburn relief, and some pepto in case the food doesn't agree with you.
Read the papers and look for signs, sometimes beaches are closed due to contamination, especially on the tourist side of the island. Best chance is to get OUT of the tourist area and find other beaches, there are some beautiful ones down south. Camping is allowed at certain places, but check with the visitors bereau. Diving shops in the tourist areas can sometimes double the price of your dive. The Micronesia Divers Association is a well known store favored by many locals. Leave a Comment

You'll probably have to go through customs to get here. You will if your coming/going to/from the United States. So make sure to check some kind of updated website to check on how to properly pack to get through customs safely, and as quickly as possible... if that is possible.
you'll want to bring plenty of warm weather clothing. Guam is a tropical island ~ warm and very humid all year round. You may want to bring rain gear as it does rain frequently. Zorries (thongs) shoes are popular to wear by the beach or for just walking around casually. If you plan to go boonie stomping you'll want to wear some kind of hiking or tennis shoe that you don't mind getting muddy! don't wear sandals or zorries to go hiking in the jungle~if want to do this .. just go barefoot! ... TAKE A MACHETE with you ON ALL BOONIE STOMPS OR JUNGLE TREKKING. Don't forget your scuba gear if your diving... orrrr check out the best dive shop on the island.. MDA ... (micronesia diver association~ or something like that ... just .. MDA) and bring your C-card if you intend to rent scuba gear rather than cart it around as luggage!... I have flown into Guam international like 9 times or so and never once had any problems with losing my luggage, etc.
I always recommend carrying a roll of toilet paper with you everywhere, or even more handy are those travel tissue packs..
definitly BAJILLIONS OF AWE SOME photo opps!!!! Don't forget the underwater camera for even more awe some piccies!
Lots of mosquitos... jungle mosquitos... THEY WILL BITE THROUGH YOUR JEANS. Leave a Comment
