Sihanoukville Maps
Sihanoukville sits on the southwestern coast of Cambodia. The town area is spread thinly across a 5km wide peninsula jutting into the Gulf of Thailand, rimmed with sandy beaches and the area is a bit hilly. The downtown is near the center of the peninsula a couple of kilometers from the beaches. The bus station is 3km north of downtown and 1km from Victory Hill. The airport sits 18km north of town. Moto-remorques (tuk-tuks) and motodups (see pg 47) are the usual form of transportation and very easy to find. (The city has also recently changed some street names, especially in the Ochheuteal area, and added numbers to most of the streets.)
Map of Greater Sihanoukville – This map covers the main body of town, the main beaches, outlying beaches and the outlying area. This map does not provide detail of the downtown area and covers a bit more area than necessary to the average beach-goer.
Sihanoukville Downtown Map – The Downtown Area sits central on the peninsula, about five minutes from the beaches in both directions. A fairly compact area, the downtown is only about two kilometers wide with most of the bus-inesses strung along Ekareach Street and a couple of blocks either side. Several lower mid-range hotels and guesthouses, and bars and restaurants dot the area, as well as convenience stores, the main market, banks and pharmacies.
Victory Hill area – This map gives detail of Victory Hill (a.k.a. Port Hill, Weather Station Hill, The Hill) streets and business locations.
Ochheuteal and ‘Serendipity’ Beach Area Map – Ochheuteal Beach is by far the most popular and touristed beach in town – long and comparatively narrow, with ‘Serendipity Beach’ at the arcing northern end. The beach restaurants that line Ochheuteal typically offer umbrellas and beach chairs, full bars and food.
Otres Beach Area Map – Otres Beach is the next beach south of Ochheuteal, further from town and somewhat more thinly touristed, offering a more relaxed, chill-out atmosphere, especially at the far end of the beach. Beach shacks and guesthouses/bungalows line the near (Otres 1) and far (Otres 2) ends with the central section now public park and a long open tranquil beach without any restaurants, umbrellas or vendors..
