Why go, and how to do it well
The windmills on the hill above the south end of Samae Beach mark Koh Larn's best viewpoint. A concrete walkway climbs from the beach, and from the top the whole of Samae and the bay spread out below, with the turbines of the island's small wind farm behind you.
There's not much to do beyond look and take photos, which is the point. Go early or in the last hour before sunset, because there's no shade at the top and the midday light is flat and hot. Wear proper shoes for the walkway and bring water, since there's nothing to buy up here.
