Viewpoint

All roads heading into the island’s interior have very steep slopes, which means you can enjoy panoramic views of the sea and neighbouring islands just a few kilometres from the highway. One of the best spots for that is the Maenam Soi 7 viewpoint tucked into the hills. It’s barely equipped — there are only a few chairs, and they’re often full of ants. You won’t get spectacular sunsets here, but the view is very wide. The road to the viewpoint is sharply inclined and can be difficult for inexperienced drivers.
