Open≈ 1.9 km

A low bluff on the north coast road with Koh Phangan straight ahead across the channel, and almost nobody else stopping. It is the north-coast answer to Lad Koh, without the coaches.
There is a small terrace and a restaurant, ten minutes from Maenam and on the way to Bang Por for dinner. The channel here is busy with catamarans and longtails, which gives the view something to look at.
