Cabras Island

Cabras Island

Cabras Island is a long finger of low-lying reef and land whichforms the northern shore of Apra Harbor, Guam.

The island's length has been extended artificially by the Glass Breakwater, named for Captain Glass, who took Guam for the United States in 1898. A road extends to the breakwater, though this is sometimes closed for security reasons during visits by ships.

The opposite coast of the harbor is formed by the Orote Peninsula, culminating in Orote Point, mainland Guam's westernmost extremity.
