In-Depth Information
eastern end of Sokha Beach is open to the public and rarely crowded. The rest is part of
the exclusive Sokha Beach Resort. Tourists are welcome to enjoy the sand near Sokha but
are expected to buy something to drink or eat. You might even duck into the resort to use
the pool (US$5).
Victory Beach
This is not the best beach in town due to the looming backdrop of Sihanoukville Port.
That said, it is clean, hassle-free and family-friendly, with plenty of midrange beach eater-
ies.
BEACH
Lamherkay Beach
About 1.5km southwest of Victory Beach, next to a shady grove, is Lamherkay Beach,
also known as Hawaii Seaview Beach. It's hugely popular with car-owning Khmers on
weekends and holidays but quiet on weekdays.
Koh Pos
(Snake Island), the island 800m
offshore, has been leased by Russians with big resort plans, which explains the flashy new
bridge linking it with the mainland. It's currently a bridge to nowhere, as work on the ac-
tual resort appears to have stalled.
BEACH
Independence Beach
Northwest of Sokha Beach, Independence Beach (7-Chann Beach) has mostly been taken
over by a gargantuan new property development. The only open section is beneath the
classic hotel for which the beach is named.
