main beach
At the 250m-long, tree-lined main beach, which faces west towards the setting sun, you can dine on seafood, lounge around on raised bamboo platforms and stay in thatched bungalows. North American travellers of a certain age may be tempted to hum the theme tune from Gilligan's Island. Many people say Koh Tonsay is a 'tropical paradise' but don't expect the sanitised resort version - this one has shorefront flotsam, flies, chickens, packs of dogs and wandering cows.

Kep Beach
Kep Beach, which faces south and is thus not great for sunsets, is sandy but narrow and strewn with little rocks. The eastern end of the shaded promenade is marked by a nude statue of a fisher's wife. A waterfront promenade to the Crab Market was under construction as we went to press.

Sokha Beach
The sandy beaches of Sihanoukville are generally throbbing with tourists, but it still remains very chilled. Sokha Beach has been privatised and thus only guests can access it, but there is a tiny tip that is open to the public and it makes for a nice getaway from the crowds.

beaches
From the southern end of the main beach, a 10-minute walk takes you to a fishers' hamlet and two more sand beaches, one on either side of the island's narrow southern tip. It's possible to walk all the way around Koh Tonsay.

Coconut Beach
Coconut Beach is a few hundred metres southeast of Kep Beach, just past the giant crab statue and across the NH33A from two gilded statues that locals say - with a great deal of justification - look like oversized chickens.

Otres Beach
Otres Beach is looking to be the new hot spot as the Occheuteal beach residents are rumoured to be getting the heave-ho by a private hotel company with ambitious plans for a luxury hotel.

Prek Treng Beach
About 7km northeast of the ferry port is casuarina-lined Prek Treng Beach, also known as Hun Sen Beach. Largely deserted (for now), it is marked by a number of Khmer-style open pavilions.

Independence Beach
Southeast of of tiny Koh Pos Beach, Independence Beach, named after the hotel that has dominated the area since the 1960s, is a good stretch of clean sand but lacks shade and facilities.

Serendipity Beach
The western end of Occheuteal beach is the appropriately named Serendipity Beach, a fun, happy and relaxed section, lacking in sand but full of easy-going beach babes and bums.
