Sihanoukville's Sokha Beach wins our vote for the loveliest beach in Sihanoukville, with its radiant stretch of fine white sand and shallow waters ideal for floating and lazy days.

The beach is backed by the huge, sprawling Sokha Beach Resort, the first — though no doubt, not the last — truly flash hotel to plunk down in Sihanoukville.

Although it's a shame to see one resort dominate the beach, at least they look after it well: the beach is near-always clean and the water sparkling. There is a very shallow drop off here, so you can wander a long way out into the water before it gets deep, making it great for those with young children.

The resort has 80% of the beach reserved for guests only but the 20% near Malibu Bungalows is open to the public, so this is where you'll find local families frolicking in the surf. You can buy your way into the private part of the beach if you'd like: a day pass costs $10 and also allows for use of the resort pool. Yes, less than ideal we know.

That said, it's fairly easy to wander in without buying a pass; they seem determined to keep locals out but don't usually question foreigners. Those who have had to pay say that a day on Sokha beach with pool access is worth the steep price tag.
