The Best Sight in Sihanoukville, Cambodia

Background Illustration for Sights

Sihanoukville is a beach town without a center. There is a market area with a surrounding business area that has all the banks and other basic facilities; however, the town's accommodations are spread out along the coast. There is a national park to visit that has mangroves and rivers, and is teeming with birdlife.

Koh Rong Sanloem

Fodor's Choice

The Sihanoukville coast is flanked by many islands, many of them lightly populated by Khmer fishermen, and only some accessible to tourists by boat. Koh Rong Sanloem, Koh Tas, Koh Ta Kiev, and Koh Russei are the most popular destinations with snorkeling, scuba-diving, kayaking, and beachcombing drawing travelers. Accommodations include everything from rustic bungalows to chic beach resorts. Ferries and speedboats run frequently throughout the day from Sihanoukville to Koh Rong Samloem (30 to 40 minutes, from $20). Choose the location of your accommodation carefully, because while there are tranquil beaches for those looking for a relaxing stay, there's also a wild party scene. The amenities vary depending where you go.  The jungle interior of the island is home to some of the deadliest snakes in Cambodia. They are more afraid of you, of course, but be aware.
