Nice quaint little beach with great cheap seafood all around. hammocks, umbrellas, chairs, inner tubes. life vests available for rent for a few dollars. Clean and nice. Not very busy when we were there on Saturday and Sunday. I recommend this place.

Great place to visit. Best during the week when it’s a lot quieter. Weekends can be crazy busy. Beware of the monkeys along the beach with your belongings. They can become aggressive while trying to steal you belongings.

I visited the beach on a rainy day. The sea was murky with big waves. The sky was filled with dark grey clouds, heavy with rain. Perhaps when the dry season comes around, the beach will look picture perfect. Nevertheless, there were many visitors enjoying the bracing winds.

Kep Beach – A Peaceful Escape in Cambodia Kep Beach, located in southern Cambodia, is a quiet and peaceful coastal destination ideal for travelers seeking relaxation. Also known as the “capital of blue crabs,” Kep is famous for its fresh seafood, especially crab dishes that are both delicious and reasonably priced. The beach itself is clean, with calm waters and soft sand, perfect for swimming or simply enjoying the sun. During the day, visitors can take part in various beachside activities such as kayaking, paddleboarding, or exploring nearby islands by boat. There are also local restaurants and cafes where you can enjoy a drink while taking in beautiful ocean views. Despite its charm, Kep remains quite undeveloped. Public facilities and infrastructure are still limited, and after sunset, the town becomes very quiet, with few options for nightlife or evening entertainment. Kep Beach is best suited for travelers who prefer peaceful natural settings, authentic local food, and a slower pace of life. It’s an excellent weekend escape from busy cities or a relaxing stop on a broader trip through southern Cambodia. If you’re looking for a calm retreat and some of the best crab dishes in Southeast Asia, Kep is definitely worth a visit.

Highly recommended to go this place in kep province view sunsets 🌅 is so beautiful 🍃⛰️🌿⛰️🌿⛰️🇰🇭

Best place to relax and refresh after a long week of work. Kep is amazing and we love it there to get out of the city.

Highly recommend visiting this beach! It seemed like they had just put down fresh sand but we loved it here. We spent a few hours under one of the umbrellas and ordered beers from the kiosk close by. The sunset was insane and it was so quiet for a beautiful beach. The staff were trying to pick up the rubbish and keep it clean, a lovely spot to relax!

Had a great 10km run at Kep National Park. The road is in good condition, surrounded by nature with fresh air all around. The views are beautiful, and I even caught the sunrise — a perfect way to start the day. Highly recommend for runners and nature lovers!

This is a really beautiful park with an 8 km paved loop that is easy to access through two entrances. There is a ranger at the entrance, and the $1 fee per person is definitely worth it. We first entered from the left side of the park and started walking towards inland, then continued onto the so-called Jungle Route (I think?). The trail quickly turned into a steep climb where we had to hold onto trees and plants to make our way up. It felt adventurous, but after a while the path became harder and harder to follow until it almost disappeared completely. At that point we decided to turn back, which was not easy, especially going down, it was quite a tricky descent. Back on the main paved path, we continued on the standard route towards Sunset Rock Viewpoint. This part was much easier and absolutely worth it. The view was stunning, and it felt like a rewarding end to the walk. Overall, the park offers both adventurous trails and accessible routes, making it a great place to explore. Sunset Rock is highly recommended. It would get 5 stars if all the paths were kept well and marked.

Kep National Park, mountain tracking by feet 👣 or by Car. Entry free $1/foreigner or $5/Car. Top view coffee shop. Single entrance from one gate, one way road & exit from other way. Nice peaceful place to relax 🧘‍♀️

Very easy hike on a paved path. It’s not a complete loop as it exits out into a street that requires you to walk around the coast along Kep Beach and around to get back to the starting point.

Nice 8 km loop around the hill with nice viewpoints with bike or by foot! We didn’t spot any wildlife!

A nice little motorbike loop for just €1 although the hiking spots are really confusing to get to and the paths are super unclear and unmaintained. We didn’t really see much wildlife I guess this may be as the motorbikes through the park make a bit of noise. Still, a decent thing to do when in Kep.

Not many stalls when I were there but they had fresh crabs, fruit and clothes stalls. Not very busy but the fried crabs I bought was really good! My friend also recommended having a crab curry by picking out the crab yourself.

There's not much there really... A wet market and a ton of restaurants... Good for a couple of hours day trip - go, have lunch, and head back. Easy ride on a scooter.

Good if you like shellfish! Can buy a selection and have it cooked for you for about 50¢. No where to sit and eat it, but just gown the road you'll find places you dot for free or sit for z small fee and he served beers etc.

we found fresh local seafood and the. they cooked it for us also. skip the pricey restaurants, pick your fresh seafood, have them prepare it to your preferences then go across the street to the kids park with tables or go down to kep beach and pay $5 for all day tent and chairs and make a day of it! recommend this market, low cost, high quality. skip the expensive places next door

If you love seafood like I do this market is everything u need to check out. Option 1 : You can buy Fresh seafood in kg and bring for them to cook any style of type you want . They will charge based on kg. Option 2: there plenty place you can buy seafood already cook. You either sit sugarcane shop and eat or you can take away. I love to sit there and eat there because it still hot and fresh You may find many place selling similar style of seafood but there 1 specific place I always go she sell very fresh and the sauce was very tasty ( find her in video I posted) There might cleanliness need to improve but it fair enough due this wet market which is not as people expected

Do not missed this local market on your trip in Kep! It’s very interesting market full of local food discoveries. Beautiful for doing local pictures… Crab here is famous, so the market is very well-known in Cambodia. Defo worth the visit :)

The only way to experience the Kep Crab Market is this; Go into the market pick some crabs out and ask them to cook it in the pepper sauce. Find some sides and someone with some drinks so you can use their table and enjoy.

This was an amazing tour. The family were so nice and knew a lot about the pepper and other things that grow here. Can definitely recommend

Small and authentic farm where everything— from pepper to jackfruits and mangoes — is grown organically, and where the staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. We had the chance to get a very informative tour of the farm and taste the different types of equally delicious peppers before the start of our cooking class. Our chef was absolutely lovely and taught us how to prepare delicious chicken curry, lok lak and chek ktis. There’s also a variety of products available in their shop, and you can relax in their many hammocks. An absolute must-see!

Touring around the Kep area on motorcycle, dropped in for lunch, and ended up staying for a tour, a pepper tasting and shopping! Great experience all around, thank you Nee 🙏 #EcoExpat bonus points for having fabric shopping bags as they try to reduce plastic where they can

Excellent! You get a free tour with tasting when you arrive. Our guide was really friendly and funny! You aren’t pressured into buying anything at the end either although we did but some of the rum and fresh pepper

Today I had the pleasure of a private tour of the farm, guided in very friendly and fluent English. Afterwards, we enjoyed a pepper tasting, accompanied by many personal stories and fascinating bits of history. The whole experience felt wonderfully relaxed and authentic. On site, there is also a restaurant and the chance to buy local products. The pepper itself is absolutely delicious – for me, the green pepper was the clear highlight. There’s even the opportunity to join a cooking class, which makes the visit all the more special.

Very interesting farm. They gave the visitors free tour of the pepper farm and the fruit farm. We are allowed to eat the fruits too for free. Mangoes, rambutan. Superb! As an indonesian, i approve. You can also purchase different peppers there. The peppers do taste better, maybe because of organic? Enjoy! Please purchase to support the local farm. Oh, the ride to the place was also very interesting. We had so much fun driving the motorbike and enjoyed the villages around. Very recommend if you are in town! Ps: if you worry about not having international license, we didn't see any police stop. Heck, kids are driving here. :))

Less touristy pepper farm in a beautiful area. Here, you can take a free guided tour of the farm and learn about the history of pepper cultivation in Cambodia, as well as the various types of pepper grown on the farm. You get to taste different peppers. In addition, the farm offers a range of souvenirs and gift items for sale. Loved my visit and can recommend it to everyone.

Great views mountains pagoda. Peaceful, no entry fees for foreigners.

Best place in the area, perfect for picnics. Very peaceful. Please don't make noise if you go, have respect 🙏🏾

A Buddhist pagoda located at the quieter part of the town,which was very less frequented by tourists. When I reached,I was the only foreigner there.But with some amazing & friendly locals & monks.Also met a young monk. After going up the stairs,a nice panoramic view welcomes you.Also the whole life story of Buddha is very nicely depicted on the walls.

Sitting atop a hill in beautiful Kep, this amazing pagoda has panoramic views of the islands in the distance. I was the only person there, so I had plenty of time to capture all the beauty of this quiet and peaceful place. If you've got a couple of hours to spend, make sure you come here. It's worth it.

As a traveler or a tourist , You can spend a lovely afternoon there enjoying the peaceful atmosphere. To be honest though nothing is so special about it it’s another beautiful pagoda where you can go up all those stairs and marvel at the city from higher up 😍

Very peaceful and beautiful temple on the hill. Must see views over Kep and the islands. We got a tuk tuk from Kep beach to the gate of the temple then walked up the steep stairs to the temple, I recommend doing this in the morning before it gets too hot like we did or later in the afternoon when it’s cooling down. Beautiful sculptures around the temple, and very quiet. Didn’t come across any tourists :)

We came around New Year and saw absolutely no people. Quite interesting and seems very few visitors to the temple. A vipassana centre is nearby but seemed to be somewhat under construction so we couldn’t see if classes had started.

Not many stalls when I were there but they had fresh crabs, fruit and clothes stalls. Not very busy but the fried crabs I bought was really good! My friend also recommended having a crab curry by picking out the crab yourself.

Nice place with great view and relaxing atmosphere. But the bikers should not be allowed there even with HD bikes. Just awful. And the tables should have been cleaned by the staff and not the guests

A beautiful hidden gem located on the mountain. Up there you can enjoy coffee/drinks with a very nice view overlooking the sea and greenery surrounding forest. It’s crowded for weekend and during holiday. Most people go there for taking photo. We paid 10000R for 5 of us at the foot of the mountain. PS: no space for car park for more than 3 cars. Be sure to ask them before going up. It’s a small one way road.

Led Zep Cafe is a popular establishment located in Kep Province. Known for its relaxed atmosphere and unique rock 'n' roll theme, the cafe often attracts both locals and tourists. It features a variety of food and beverage options, including Western and Cambodian cuisine. The cafe's decor often pays homage to the legendary rock band Led Zeppelin, with memorabilia and music setting a vibrant mood. Additionally, its location near the coast makes it an ideal spot for enjoying sunsets and the natural beauty of the surrounding area

It's a chill place with a nice sea view and calm with the surrounding forest. You could see some animals like squirrel or monkeys sometime. The drinks are okay. But location is good, just a little bit walk if you get there from the west entrance. With a nice seating area and nice to get some photos shot!!

Beautiful view, and they now make the effort with paper cups and compostable lids. A lovely place to hang out both Cambodians and visitors, listen to music and enjoy the trees.

Don’t bother coming here on weekends. The place is crowded and more of a photo booth then a cafe. Had to wait 30+min for a $2 ice coffee that barely contained any coffee. Entrance to the cafe is only possible if you pay $1 pp for entrance to the national park. Last but not least: no toilets available

A small coffee shop on Kep national park. Can accommodate around 50 people. Mostly crowded at weekends and holiday. Good for mountain and sea view. Price normal not expensive, only drink there no take away offer. Vehicles need to park at the entrance, so you have to walk around 350m. If you walk across the coffee shop around 500m there is another abundance shop and good for seaside viewing as well.

The place wasn't open and didn't look like it has been for ages. There were signs up for food and drinks but no sign of life. There were only a couple of old beat up chairs to sit on. May have great food and drinks when open so hard to rate.

We shared the crab amok and curried prawns and it was my favourite meal in Cambodia - made even better by the fact you can request the dishes spicy and have lots of chilli added! Sun setting over the restaurant while we dined and a nice glass of wine to go with it all. 10/10, can’t wait to return if I’m ever back in Kep.

The crab curry was yummy and had lots of meat on the crab. Small portions are quite big, can share between 2-3 people. I would definitely come back to order the crab curry. Food was cooked at an adequate speed, but even though there weren't a lot of people, it took them forever to take our order, to bring us drinks and white rice. Fried rice was a bit dry, but good taste.

Came to this place on a day trip from Kamoit to Kep. My Tuk Tuk driver said this place was very famous in the area, and after eating the crab, I can see why. The fried crab with green Kamoit pepper was super messy and super delicious. I liked it so much I ordered crab spring rolls after just to keep trying the crab. Restaurant also has a great view of the ocean when sitting outside.

The shrimp was so flippin good— wow. Even though we went at a very busy time, there was no wait. We got to sit on the deck overlooking the water. The wait staff is on it, the food is great, and the view is even better.

The crab with pepper is the best—so fresh and so big, even in the small portion! But the fried noodles are tasteless.

Very fresh seafood and good service! Lovely place too!

seafood is not so fresh , grab is not good and price is expensive! but the view is ok!

This restaurant is very clean. They are also MSG free. We felt the food was very fresh. The staff very friendly. Went there a few times on our 3 night stay here. I had the Steamed crab with lemon butter sauce and white rice, it was delicious!

Holy Crab. Claims to serve MSG free food. Flavors were very simple lacking a bit of depth overall. Just wondering if this was the best place in the whole strip of restaurants at this bay.

This restaurant is located on a very busy seaside street. They have a very aesthetic decoration. They claim to serve MSG-free food. The price was a little bit high for the portion. he food took a little bit too long, yet it is very tasty. Among the dishes we ordered, the crab fried with pepper is the best, in which the crab blends well with the stir-fried sauces and the meat is literally fresh. The BBQ prawn and stir-fried squid are average.

We absolutely loved this place! Our favourite is the crab amok and grilled squid with lemon kampot pepper sauce (so good!!). I understand that it may be slightly expensive but they do serve quality and fresh food that is worth every penny. Their juices are also amazing - lime and mint is a must try!! If I go back to Kep; I’m definitely visiting this place again.

KEP’S BEST Kep’s crab market crab shacks are one of the reasons Kep is such a fabulous seaside town. The best of the crab shacks is Holy Crab, consistently spot on every time. The freshest seafood, reasonable prices, great space and great service. Their crab cakes are incredible and they do the best version of Kep’s signature dish, stir fried crab and green peppercorns. #cambodia #kep #cambodiafoodie

Wow - we were tipped off by a local cafe owner in Kampot that we had to come here for the crab amok - and so glad we listened! The best crab dish I’ve ever eaten, so so flavorful and full of crab meat. We came after the crab market so really weren’t that hungry, but devoured everything we ordered. The service was also really good and friendly, and the place was really stylish and modern of course with a great view of the ocean. Thank you!

Ate a mango salad with really fresh squid and small prawns at lunch today. Had to come back for dinner… Holy Crab is the flashiest looking restaurant on the strip but their pricing is on par with most other places alongside them so don’t be put off and immediately think it’ll blow your budget. The venue is clean, well designed, has good furniture (no miss matching chairs here) and ‘holy crap’ the ablutions are also spotless! It gets better though… I hate getting presented a dirty and trashy looking menu with dog eared pages (and so often it’s presented upside down in a casual ‘here it is’ manner) - well not here at Holy Crab. The menu pages are clean as a whistle, well laid out and presented correctly. The owner/manager has trained his staff exceptionally well right through the whole process of greeting and seating to taking the order, setting the table…everything. And, then there’s the food. I’ve already mentioned the US$4 mango salad at lunch - every ingredient on the plate was fresh and delicious. Dinner - the same - fresh and wonderfully crafted on the plate. Three prawns (thoughtfully peeled) and three pieces of squid tube nicely grilled and served with a Kampot pepper based dipping sauce. Main course of a snapper curry w/ vegetables and a side of steamed rice was generous in size and well cooked. The chef at Holy Crab knows her cooking techniques. I couldn’t fault a thing. Worth repeating visits if you’re a solo diner like me, but in a group try more of the many selections on offer.
