Kim's Lookout
A lookout at the western end of the Malabar ridge, facing the lagoon and the twin peaks at the southern end. It is one of the island's most classic postcard views.
Kim's Lookout is at the western end of the northern island ridge, at about 170 meters elevation. The view looks directly over the entire lagoon, the surf beyond the reef, and the twin peaks of Mount Lidgbird and Mount Gower. You can reach it on foot from Ned's Beach along the Malabar ridge, or climb up from the Old Settlement Beach side. The one-way walk takes about 1 to 1.5 hours and passes through palm forest and seabird habitat. Parts of the path are steep and slippery, so bring plenty of water.
