Cambodia - beach holidays

The Kingdom of Cambodia is located in the south of the Indochina Peninsula in Southeast Asia. The state borders on Vietnam, Laos and Thailand. For tourists, Cambodia is attractive for its beaches. In terms of quality, they are not inferior to beaches in neighboring countries. But you can relax here much cheaper than on the popular beaches of Turkey , Egypt and Thailand . The downside is the undeveloped infrastructure and poor quality of local roads.

The best beach holiday, according to experienced tourists, is waiting for you on the banks of Sihanoukville.

Sihanoukville is well-developed infrastructure, here at every step there are hotels, restaurants, souvenir shops, cafes, travel agencies.

The city does not have a lot of historical and architectural attractions, but this is offset by its successful location. Half a day from Sihanoukville you can get to Bangkok and Ho Chi Minh City. Therefore, in Cambodia, beach holidays on the sea can be successfully combined with trips on excursions.

Also around the city are picturesque islands, which will suit divers diving .

But of course most of the time is spent on the beaches. The main beaches of Sihanoukville are:

1. Cleanser and Serendipiti are the city beaches that are visited most often: Due to the large number of people on them, they are very polluted.
2. Victoria Beach. Very popular with tourists from Russia. Located next to the port and so the conditions on it are not much better than on city beaches.
3. Beaches Otres and Ream. Suitable for lovers of secluded recreation, as they are not very developed infrastructure. But these beaches are very clean water and sand.
4. Sokha. It belongs to the best beaches of Sihanoukville, because it combines both pleasant white sand and clean water, as well as developed infrastructure. But this beach belongs to the resort "Sokha Beach Risot" is designed for its guests. However, visitors from outside can also get here for a fee.
5. Before Sianquil became famous among tourists, the main beach resort was the small town of Kep . Among the attractions of Kep can be called the unusual volcanic sand of black color and local cuisine, which is famous for its seafood dishes.
6. Not far from Kep is the Rabbit Island with an unusually beautiful wildlife. Many travelers would be interested to visit this ecologically clean place.
7. In addition, you can relax on the beaches in Cambodia and on the islands of Koh Rong, Koh Tan, Sun-Neil and Co-Russey. Rest on the islands will be especially interesting for fans of diving .

Special attention should be paid to the question of which season it is better to visit Cambodia. For the climate of this country is divided into two seasons: the rainy season and the dry season. The rainy season begins in May-June and lasts until October. The rainiest weather lasts from July to September.

The most favorable for tourists is the dry season. Best for travelers is a beach holiday in Cambodia in November. Precisely this month precipitation stops. The dry season lasts until April.
