If you’re planning a trip to Cambodia, don’t forget to check out at least one of these spectacular beaches in Cambodia. Cambodia is also home to a large number of beautiful coastal destinations along the Gulf of Thailand.
Coral Beach
Just off the coast of Southwest Cambodia, near the Ream National Park, is the island of Koh Ta Kiev. While the island has some development, a lot of it is still pristine and natural. There are several beaches to choose from on Koh Ta Kiev, with one of the most scenic being Coral Beach. This tropical beach boasts accommodation as well as food and drinks. This makes it the ideal place to relax and unwind when you want to get away from it all but still remain comfortable. You’ll arrive by boat, and you can choose to rent a hammock for the day. If you visit, you can try out snorkeling, cliff diving or even spearfishing.
Sok San Beach
Koh Rong is an island off Sihanoukville that boasts miles of scenic coastline and pristine beaches. Sok San Beach is one of the most popular beaches on the island. Also known as Long Beach and 7km Beach, thanks to the size, Sok San Beach is accessible by foot or by boat. The television show Survivor was recently filmed on Sok San, which has increased tourism significantly. Nonetheless, it is a beautiful and uncrowded place to enjoy the water or go snorkeling. At night, the phosphorescent water actually sparkles when it is disturbed, which is a spectacular reason to visit after sunset.
Koh Tonsay
Along the coast, and near the Vietnam border, is the island called Koh Thonsáy. In English, this means Rabbit Island. This island is seeing slow development, which means that visitors can expect plenty of seclusions and virtually no crowds. Aside from a handful of local fishing huts, there are only a few bungalows and restaurants catering to tourists. To get to Koh Tonsay, you can take a 20-minute boat ride from Kep. Common ways to enjoy Koh Tonsay include hiking inland, scouting out secluded spots on the beach and taking snorkeling trips.
Koh Pos
Just off the coast of Sihanoukville is Koh Pos, which translates to snake island. There is a small bridge that leads to Koh Pos, making it more accessible than many of the other beaches on Cambodian Islands. The bridge is called Techo Morakat Bridge, and it leads to the lush green island with scenic, rocky beaches. The aptly named Treasure Island Seafood Restaurant is the island’s hub, and it attracts many visitors in search of waterfront dining, beautiful views and plenty of seafood. A short walk from the beach and you’ll get to the jungle, which is home to everything from monkeys to pythons.
