-Most of the easy accessible beaches in Cambodia are around  the coastal town of Sihanoukville,

this Cambodia beaches are either directly accessible by road -have a little walk- or a little bit further out on the islands, accessible by boat. Infrastructure around Cambodia beaches wont match beaches in neighboring Thailand. Cambodia is just starting to developed a good beachside infrastructure with hotels of various comfort level slowly emerge, don't expect a similar situation as at Patong Beach Phuket and other beaches in Thailand or similarities to Thailand nightlife, its quite different

Sihanoukville Cambodia is a sleepy Cambodian coastal town around 230 km southwest of Phnom Penh. Around Sihanoukville are 4 major Cambodia beaches. Starting from  the North, is Victoria beach, Independence Beach, Hawaii Beach and Ochiheuteal Beach. Nightlife in the evening its not as busy as Patong nightlife in Phuket but not everyone wants this anyway, the beaches are quite nice and quiet as a comparison have a look at beach Phuket.

Sihanoukville has no past, it was placed on a cleared piece of jungle in the 1950ties to build Cambodia's only deep water port. A good bus service out of the capital of Cambodia, Phnom Penh makes it easy to go there quickly and enjoy the Cambodian beach landscape.

-This pretty Cambodian beaches are "in front" of Sihanoukville.

Only recently has the first upper market beach resort opened the door for business. The whole area is in a state of flux since many people try to do some business on tourism.

-Beach Cambodia means Sihanoukville and the area around.

'Beach town', 'port community', 'fledgling resort destination' - all describe Sihanoukville, Cambodia's premier beach town. Sihanoukville white sand beaches and warm Gulf of Thailand waters combine with a laid back, beach atmosphere to provide a great little tropical getaway. Sihanoukville is a place to unwind by the beach, enjoy the fresh from-the-ocean seafood, take in a snorkeling or scuba trip, and generally slow-down, lay back and chill-out.

Sihanoukville has a different look and feel than most Cambodian towns. Constructed as a port city in the late 1950s, the town is much newer, more urban and cosmopolitan than most Cambodian provincial cities. Nowadays, Sihanoukville is as much a beach town as it is a port town, catering to beach-going weekenders from Phnom Penh as well as a steadily increasing number of 

foreign visitors.  Still, the pace of life in Sihanoukville is very relaxed. Cows occasionally wander the main road, outside town foreign faces draw smiles and curious stares, and most of the beaches offer only beach umbrellas, thatched roofed eateries, and a growing number of restaurants, bungalows and hotels.

-Sihanoukville has a more than ample supply of accommodations, including a 5- star resort complex on Sokha Beach,

several mid-range places downtown and at the beaches, a few 'upscale' three-star hotels, and dozens of great guesthouses, especially on Ochheuteal Beach.

Considering the moderate number of visitors to Sihanoukville, the town offers
