Cabras Island is a long finger of low-lying reef and land which forms the northern shore of Apra Harbor, Guam. Tourists come to the island for snorkeling and hiking. [1]
History
The island's length has been extended artificially by the Glass Breakwater, named for Captain Henry Glass, who captured Guam for the United States in 1898 during the Spanish–American War. A road extends to the breakwater, though this is sometimes closed for security reasons during visits by ships.[citation needed]
The opposite coast of the harbor is formed by the Orote Peninsula, which houses Naval Base Guam and Point Udall (formerly Orote Point), mainland Guam's westernmost extremity.[citation needed]
