Sihanoukville is Cambodia’s premier resort and named after the country’s king to celebrate independence, this port town is a bustling tourist attraction with five contrasting beaches. The long Ochheuteal Beach is in the heart of the backpacking area but the many beach bars and restaurants are a great place to spend an evening sampling some of the coastlines famous seafood. The southern end of the beach is slightly quieter – and a walk over the small headland takes you to Ostres Beach, an idyllic stretch of sand that feels a million miles away from Ochheuteal.
For those looking to do more than relax on the white sand, boat trips can be arranged to one of the many islands just off this coastline, providing great snorkelling and an opportunity to experience a tropical beach paradise.
The level and quality of Cambodian beach hotels was transformed by the arrival of Song Saa Resort, just off the coast. For those with the budget, it is an extraordinary hotel in a wonderful location.
