Gongna Beach defenses
The Gongna Beach defenses are a collection of World War II structures built on or near Gongna Beach in Tamuning on the island of Guam, now a United States territory. These defenses were erected by the Imperial Japanese Army during its occupation of the island 1941–44. The three surviving elements were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. They are located well north of the main Allied landing areas of the 1944 Battle of Guam.Gun emplacement
At the north end of the beach, about inland from the high tide line, stands a gun emplacement with an attached pillbox. The emplacement consists of two reinforced concrete walls flanking a Japanese 20 cm gun. From this position a covered way leads to a badly damaged pillbox structure, also made of reinforced concrete. At the time of its National Register listing, the pillbox was partially collapsed.Gun mount
Near the center of the beach, about inland from the high tide line, is a circular concrete gun mount, which is about in diameter. The exterior walls of the mount are thick and rise about above the ground; the central portion of the structure has been filled with coral rocks.Pillbox
A circular concrete pillbox stands atop the berm overlooking the beach. It is about in diameter, and has a maximum height just over. It has a single opening, facing southwest, that is presumed to have acted as both access point and gun port.
