Sleeping Lady
Kosrae's central ridge resembles a reclining woman and is the island's emblem; the classic view is from the northwest coast near the airport
The central ridge of Kosrae is made up of several peaks that, seen from the northwest coast, resemble a woman lying on her back. That is why “Sleeping Lady” has become the island's nickname. The best viewpoints are the seawall near the airport and the area around Tafunsak, and you can see it as soon as you step off the plane. The outline is clearest in the evening, when the light is soft and clouds are few, making it ideal for photos. Drive or take a taxi; there is no entrance fee.
