Overview
Tinian is the least populated of the three main Mariana Islands, offering a quiet alternative to nearby Saipan and Guam. The island's main appeal lies in its WWII history: North Field was the base where the Enola Gay took off with the first atomic bomb, and preserved bomb loading pits remain as memorials.
