The Beach

Our Take

A former French colonial resort town with a rocky beach. Not a destination for beach lovers but worth visiting for the famous crab market and relaxed atmosphere. Ruins of French villas add character. Rabbit Island nearby offers better beaches. More about atmosphere and seafood than swimming. Beautiful coastal road. Quieter alternative to Sihanoukville.
