Little known Otres Beach is the new kid on the block when it comes to eating and sleeping options in Sihanoukville and is a welcome addition with its seemingly endless stretch of whitish sand and calm tides.

A wave of development has transformed this once barren coastline into a bustling seaside strip of similar eateries and repetitive bungalows, but what it lacks in originality, it more than makes up for in natural beauty. It is also the beach to make best use of its most valuable asset -- the beach -- as most accommodation is in the form of bungalows set directly on the sand.

As with the rocky end of Serendipity, there's some turmoil between the government and the land owners/builders that potentially puts Otres' future as a tourist destination at risk, but for now, bungalows continue to be built and drinks continue to be poured.

In all likelihood nothing too serious will happen until the whole kit is sold off to a developer with pockets deeper than you or I could imagine. SO Otres probably has a few years yet.

During low season Otres Beach is even quieter than the rest of Sihanoukville and many places close up shop. This should change as Otres catches on but you should get it while you can.


 
















With so few people, so much sand and the sprawling sea, this could be the deserted island you've been searching for .. and you don't even have to leave the mainland -- fancy that.
