Place of quiet beaches

Sihanoukville is a province in southern Cambodia on the Gulf of Thailand, located 185 kilometers southwest of Phnom Penh. The beaches are the main feature of the town from north to south they are Victory Beach, Lamherkay Beach, Koh Pos Beach, Independence Beach, Sokha Beach, Serendipity Beach, Ochheuteal Beach and Otres Beach. The most popular beaches are Ochheuteal, Sokha, Independence and Victory.

I headed down here for a few days of "chill time" after a number of hectic days in Ankor Wat with two main aims to spend time on the beach and to get a couple of scuba dives in. Happily, I managed to do both!

Pros and Cons

Pros:Relatively quiet unspoilt beaches
Cons:Town seemed soulless
In a nutshell:Good stop off place to recharge batteries
