Cambodia Beaches
Accessible Cambodia's beaches
All waterfronts are at the South China Sea and with at least a minimum of infrastructure are not many. The waterfronts are the best example that there is more in the country beside of temples monument and Phnom Penh.
Equally interesting is the vicinity just check the pages for day trips, Sre Ambel is almost 2 hours and Bokor National Park is a 3-hour ride along the coast from Sihanoukville. The main road is a hard one with asphalt and buses, big and small are driving along hourly. Actually, all this are at the 2 main roads from the coast to Phnom Penh.
Also the roads to the seafronts are real bad unless it is to the most popular at Sihanoukville there are only dirt roads. Even a tuk-tuk driver won't get you to one of the better China Sea fronts such as Otres beach because he would risk damaging his vehicle.
Paklong Beach at Koh Kong
This is Paklong waterfront close to the road from the Thai border to Koh Kong City. The main road is a good one but after the intersection to the sea it's just a bad dirt road for about 2 km. The white sand strip is real pristine with millions of small shells laying around which is a good indicator if it's untouched or not.

A good example how it could be done is the front of Sokha Beach resort at Sihanoukville.

This vacation playground is currently (2013) the best in the country. It somehow is a copy of the Holiday Inn at Cha Am Thailand.
The busiest waterfront in the south of Cambodia is Serendipity & Ochheuteal

It's a little version of Patong in Phuket but much more civilized with bars, restaurants, jet skis and other activities. Looks very family friendly a real pleasure spot on the South China Sea.
Now what to do when you soaked enough sun in, the skin is red and you get a bit bored? Yes, do a day trip, since the distances between the locations are not as long and the main roads ok, what to do?

Make a day trip to Sre Ambel or Bokor National Park
Choosing Bokor you need to book a tour because this is under Military control and you won't be allowed to enter on your own. For Sre Ambel there is no problem, just take a bus, car or motorbike (be extremely careful) and start. It is possible to leave the bus as Sre Ambel and trying to get a motorbike taxi into the wilderness.
