Why go

A hundred metres up the same hill road as Overlap Stone, a rock shaped like a raised snake's head marks a second, wider terrace over Lamai bay. Fewer people stop here, and the view is arguably the better of the two.

What you will find

The platform sits a little higher and further round the slope, so it takes in the bay, the reef and the hills behind. There are benches, a drinks stall and the same paid access as its neighbour.

Good to know

Same access road; buy one ticket, see both.

Worth knowing before you go

Same steep road as Overlap Stone; in the rainy season the concrete is slick.

Valentine Stone
