There's not much to Hong Kong's third largest island which makes it a great place for a quiet, laid back afternoon. There's three "themes" to the island: an expat enclave around the pier area; small, modern villages; and the walking paths through the jungles that connect the two. If you leave from Aberdeen Pier you can exit the Ferry at Pak Kok Village and make a loop through the village areas before arriving in the expat / pier zone. The pier area has expats but it's a slightly harder edge than Stanley or Discovery Bay - although the restaurants seem more touristy and catering to day-trippers. On a cold winter afternoon Lamma reverts to its historical fishing post feel. The pier area has several restaurants, most specializing in seafood, and is a good area to enjoy a group meal after a short walk around the island. If you are not part of a large group, you'll want to steer clear of the first wave of restaurants and find a better value.
There are no cars on the island although the walking trails are all paved.
For the return you can catch a ferry back to the central piers if that is more convenient than returning to Aberdeen.
