No cars are allowed on Lamma Island so your legs will be your main mode of transport. The main village is five minute walk from the apartment in which you can find a range of local, western or Asian ocean view restaurants. There are bars where you will often find the local residents sipping a beer strumming a guitar. Candela, The Waterfront and Blue Goose are all firm favourites. You won’t find better local food than at Sampan Restaurant, which serves authentic Chinese food. In the village you can also pick up fresh fruit and veg and groceries. Lamma has been able to retain it's island charm and there are chain stores or restaurants on the island, preferring local family run businesses with charm.
