Sihanoukville is situated on the coast of Cambodia
between Thailand and Vietnam on the Gulf of Thailand. The town offers a laidback resort atmosphere with long white sandy beaches, ideal for water sports, diving or just lounging in the sunshine.
The best time to visit Sihanoukville is between November and the end of February, when humidity is low and the sunshine consistent. Islands: There are more than a dozen islands off the coast of Sihanoukville for tourists to hop around. Most of
them are yet to be developed for an overnight stay with the exception of Bamboo Island or Koh Russei in Khmer. Many guesthouses, restaurants and cafes on Ochheuteal and Serendipity beaches offer trips and
packages to these islands. Soon Nail Island (also called Magic Island because it looks like a mushroom) will have a hotel run by the Russian owners of the Snake House. They already have a pier and most of the hotel
and restaurant are finished.Koh Rong: It is situated west of the Sihanoukville coast. It offers the fantastic strand of beach on its southwest, stretching about 5 kilometres
(3 mi). It has fresh water resources on the island and a bustling fishing community on the southeast with basic supplies including fresh water, fish and crab. Koh Rong Samlon: It is a bit smaller than Koh Rong
and situated on its south. Beautiful beaches are on the east coast, where a large heart-shaped bay with some shellfish cultivation is located, and on the north shoreline facing Koh Rong. Koh Tang
: It is located quite far from the main shoreline of Sihanoukville. Going there requires trippers to
stay overnight on board. It offers interesting diving spots most of which are not frequently explored. The island is home to
a military outpost and travelers should expect to be boarded by military personnel when out at the island
