Best Beach at Sihanoukville

Sokha Beach
Sihanoukville, Cambodia has several beaches.  By doing a quick image search on google, you may be led to believe that all Sihanoukville beaches are breathtaking.  However, some are much better than others.

If you want to go to a pristine beach, with great views, and few people, head to the Sokha Beach Resort in Sihanoukville.  This might be one of Asia's best.  Yes, it's private, so you have to pay $10, but this is actually a fantastic deal.
  • You get a lounge chair and umbrella with towel.
  • You get a free drink from the bar.
  • You can use the hotel's pool (with swim-up bar).
  • You can use the hotel's clean bathrooms.
  • The beach is always empty, so you don't have to worry about your belongings.
  • The sand is perfect.  It even continues out into the water.  (No rocks to stub your toe on!)
  • There's no litter.
  • Speedboats and Jet-skis are not allowed to enter the cove.
  • The view is amazing.
Occidental Beach
Compare this to the craziness of Sihanoukville's other beaches.  Not to say you shouldn't visit Occidental or Serendipity Beaches; you need to experience them.  But, make sure to plan one day on your vacation at Sokha Beach Resort.
