It is (by direction of travel) the westernmost state or territorial capital city of the United States. The village is bounded by the sandy beaches of Agana Bay to the north, the Hagåtña River and associated wetlands to the east, and a cliff (above which is the village of Agana Heights) to the South.  Several high-rise office buildings are in the center of the village, while the western portion of the city known as '''Anigua''' is more residential.
