where Cambodian tourists play

Victory Beach, like Victory Hill, is best avoided. Sokha Beach is the nicest in town, but the white sand is now walled off behind the gates of the luxury Sokha Resort. Ocheauteal Beach is split into two parts: The western half, with Serendipity at one end, is the domain of Western tourists, while the eastern half is where Cambodian tourists play. Beyond Ocheauteal is Otres Beach, a much less crowded alternative, but when I went there last week most businesses were shut down and sex tourists were representing.

My favorite spot in Sihanoukville is the temple on top of a mountain overlooking town. This is a great spot to get away from the beach scene and watch the sunset in peace. For tips on temple visits, check out this guide.
