Not in James's guide book, but maybe the best boulders on the island, Eden is a beautiful, shaded spot a little ways back in the jungle. On the main paved road by Sairee beach, go past Here and Now Massage (heading away from the market), make an immediate right and go past all the wooden bungalows. You will see a huge boulder on your left that is begging to be climbed (soloed really...good luck!)- keep walking, staying well to the right of this big boulder, and walk about 50 more meters to a fence- pass the fence and you will hit a narrow, partly paved road/ sidewalk. Turn right on the road and you can't miss all of the incredible boulders. I call the huge one at teh bottom of the hill the "Crystal Ball"- you'll see why! It is only a 10-15 minute walk from the main road to the boulders. Eden is actually a coconut farm, and the area is owned by the same guy that owns Sabai-Sabai restaurant. Bring some insect repellant, and watch out for falling coconuts!
