A rocky cape dropping into the sea at the island's southern tip, with a lighthouse-museum and an elephant shrine. The whole island comes here to watch the sun sink into the Andaman.
It's 5 minutes from Nai Harn, 10 from Rawai, 20 from Kata. Parking fills before sunset — come 40–50 minutes early. Five minutes away, the windmill viewpoint over Yanui beach offers the same sunset with a third of the crowd.
Tips
- •The main platform gets packed — take the path to the right for the same views without the crowd
- •Bring a windbreaker: the cape is always breezy
- •In the rainy season the sunset is often clouded — check the forecast
