Ochheuteal Beach

Serendipity Beach

Of all Sihanoukville's beaches, the western end of Ochheuteal Beach, known as Serendipity, is the favourite. With a mix of backpacker guesthouses and more mid-range hotels, along with a few good beachside bars and restaurants, this is a backpacker and traveller magnet.

Ochheuteal Beach

Ochheuteal Beach has a selection of accommodation along a couple of roads that run back off the beach. Nothing is more then a ten minute walk from the water. At the far eastern end of the beach, well away from all the guesthouses and hotels are a bunch of shacks that offer free accommodation, so if you're a backpacker on a super-tight budget, walk up there.
