Kep Beach

As far as beaches in Cambodia go, Kep Beach is largely underrated. Although not quite as well-known as its larger cousins on Koh Rong or Koh Rong Samleom, Kep Beach still boasts a relatively well kept stretch of sand perfect for sunbathers and, of course, those warm tropical waters of the Cambodian coast line.

There are often many street vendors on the roads nearby and hammocks that can be rented on the opposite side of the road should you wish to relax in the shade for the afternoon.

Where is Kep Beach?

The beach is located in the town of Kep on the road that leads from Kep crab market, the perfect spot to try local seafood especially if combined with Kampot pepper.

Nearby Attractions

Kep is one of the most laid-back seaside resort towns in Southeast Asia. It might have livened up since the advent of 24/7 electricity, but this is certainly a place to chill. It is also close to both the charming riverside town of Kampot and the Vietnamese border, making Kep either the ideal first or last stop in your travels through Cambodia. You can also explore some of the old buildings and examine some of the damage caused in the Khmer Rouge civil war.
