1. Kep Beach

Kep Beach The most popular beach in the area. A single, kilometer-long crescent of sand near the tip of the Kep peninsula, bounded by rocks at either end and traced by an oceanfront road. Warm shallow waters. It’s an average swimming beach but still pleasantly peaceful – a good place to lounge, have an oceanside seafood meal and enjoy the cool sea breeze.

Dining platforms and seafood vendors line the road behind the beach as well as the oceanfront further down the road. The beach can be quite busy on weekends, but is often deserted during the week. The road through Kep follows the coastline to the beach and then circles back on itself. Sometimes cars and vans must pay admission. Be aware the oceanfront road along the beach area is a one way street and the police do occasionally enforce the law, especially on the weekend.

2. Angkuol Beach

Angkuol Beach Kep’s “other beach” – a long, narrow sandy tropical beach about 25km from Kep. The beach is very lightly touristed with only a couple of snack/drink vendors, a few fishing boats and little else. It’s an interesting, photogenic trip through the rice paddies and salt flats to get there.

Phnom Doung Beach A small, completely untouristed beach about 9km south of Kampot City. The dirt road from Kampot to the beach passes through picturesque rice fields and salt pans.
