Lamma Island is a thriving community of expatriates and commuting locals. One of the island's easiest and most popular walks connects the two main villages of Sok Kwu Wan and Yung Shue Wan. This panoramic hike passes by swimming coves and fertile vegetable farms. Other paths lead up and around Mount Stenhouse on the south of the island. Sun worshippers, meanwhile, head for the beaches of Hung Shing Yeh and Lo So Shing.
Yung Shue Wan showcases many Western cafes, pubs and handicraft shops along its car-free main street. The village also boasts a Tin Hau Temple built more than 100 years ago.
On the other side of the island, people come from all over the world to sample the seafood at Sok Kwu Wan's plethora of terraced restaurants raised on stilts above the bay. Fresh chilli crab, garlic prawns, deep-fried squid and steamed fish with ginger and spring onions are all firm favourites.
