The Tumon Bay Japanese fortifications are a collection of World War II-era military structures along the coast of Guam in and near the village of Tumon. Many of these structures were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991, using the alternate spelling "Tomhum". They include pillboxes on or close to the beach, and concrete structures and caves located a short way inland on the limestone cliffs that overlook the beach. ==Beach defenses== There are three pillboxes on or near the beach of Tumon Bay, all made from concrete mixed with coral limestone. The first is a partially-collapsed concrete structure between the Hyatt Regency Guam and the beach; it has two embrasures providing gun placements facing north and west.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NRHP nomination for Tumhom Pillbox 1 )〕 The second is located south of the first, north of the Holiday Resort and Spa; it has an entrance (damaged) to the south, with wall extensions, and a gun opening facing roughly east, with a view over much of the bay and coastline.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NRHP nomination for Tomhum Pillbox II )〕 The third is located further west, near the Fiesta Resort Guam, and is further inland (about instead of the ) than the first two, having been relocated from its original position closer to the beach. It is six-sided, a roughly rectangular shape with two corners clipped, with gun openings on the short side and angled sides.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NRHP nomination for Tomhum Pillbox III )〕
