Lamma Island Family Trail
Lamma Island
Description
Lamma Island is just a 30 minute ferry ride away from Aberdeen. Once on the island there are a range of hikes and strolls you can embark on. The first hike is a 45-minute walk over the hill to Sok Kwu Wan on the east coast. Sok Kwu Wan is famous for its strip of seafood restaurants, including Rainbow Seafood Restaurant. After lunch, take the easy 15-minute trail to the pretty Lo Shing Beach on the west coast. Yung Shue Wan on the northwest of Lamma, is the main town. With alleyways bursting with trinket shops, restaurants, bars and organic shops. It’s a short walk away from two beaches: Power Station Beach, home to the island’s Full Moon Parties and the busier Hung Shing Yeh Beach, with lifeguards. For more serious hikers you can tackle Mount Stenhouse, which is Lamma’s highest peak at 353 metres tall.
