The 16 best waterfalls near Sihanoukville

Recently, I had the opportunity to visit a truly beautiful place that I believe everyone should experience. If you're looking for a peaceful escape to unwind and connect with loved ones or friends, this spot offers a gentle reminder of nature's incredible beauty. Imagine yourself immersed in the soothing sights of the waterfall area, taking in its breathtaking scenery and feeling your stress melt away.

The attraction site itself has developed quite well. But the entrance to the site from the national road is still in bad condition, especially in rainy seasons. There are holes and also quite slippery. Sedan might be a bit difficult to access, but still accessible.

Easy to get to located on the Prek Tuk Sap River great scenery and a good place to swim and have a picnic if you so desire. Nice way to spend a bit of time out of Sihanoukville. We went on the river as well and visited a couple of fishing villages so all-inclusive thing with the falls it was a good day.

It's free, but you technically need to pay 500 Riel ( 0.12$) for crossing the bridge to the waterfalls. I'd say it's worth it. I went there on 3rd February 2024. There was still some water. It's a chill place to relax in nature. There are some food stores there.

The good place to join picnics with family. Otherwise we can have small swim at the fresh and clean waterfall from the highest mountain in Sihanoukville. Highly recommend to relax with family during holiday.

I Recommended . The water are cleaned But on the way to the Kbal Chhay waterfall the red dirt road is kinda hard to go in cuz you’ll be shaking like an earthquake. The waterfall are really nice and fresh , if you wanted to go on a family trip or relax , enjoying your vacation I recommended this place

Best natural waterfalls in Sihanoukville. First, they had this resrvoir nearby, which made the hourney here amazing fron the beautiful sceneries. Even though at that time, it's still unfinished. Then you arrive at the red sanded parking spot, walk a bit, cross the mini bridge then voila! The waterfalls and it's river! They also had these small huts to take rest or had lunch. All of them were locals btw, but don't worry, they won't bite :) everyone just busy with their own thing. Enjoy the water from the falls, or walk a bit deeper to the smaller river. The water just cristal clear and shallow, perfect to take a dip. Refreshing after walking under the sun. Just be careful coz the river bed is a bit rocky and slippery.

Not a very nice beach - some parts of it are really littered. The central part was not good, southern part is more clean. Do not recommend.

This beach is perfect for swimming or just relaxing but I suggested you find a place that is near a restroom. Always wear your flip flop when using the restroom.

Nice place to relax. The wind is cool, and the sun shines warmly on you. There are hammocks that you can rent to relax on. Beautiful view and wonderful beach.

The beach is stunning, but there is some litter and food waste along the pathway. Motorcyclists using the walkway should exercise caution

I visited here on 24 - 25 Jan 2023, it has changed a lot since my last visit back in 2019. There were no more kois, on the beach and it serves the public. You may enjoy family activities here (BBQ, Sunbathing, Swimming, Jogging or Relaxed). You may bring your staff here if you preferred or you may rent from local vendors. Food is limited but there were a few options that you can order from local vendors at the beach. There were a few landmarks created (#សិលាបដ្ដបណ្ដាសា #ដើមឈើស្នេហ៍ #សិលាចាំស្នេហ៍)។ I look forward to the next BBQ and relaxed by the beach trip soon.

Sunset is nice. But the number of shacks on the beach kills it sometimes. Beach cannot remain clean due to their presence. No night life on the beach except Corner House on Orees 1

Otres Beach is decent for a quiet getaway. The sand is nice and the water is calm, but some areas could be cleaner and better maintained. Still a good spot to relax away from the crowds.

This was my first time on an island like this, and I was completely blown away. I don't know if you've seen the White Lotus Resort, it's exactly the same. The beach, the fit young people, the enthusiastic service staff, the various water sports, and the beautiful sunset made me feel that it was unreal. It's definitely worth a visit.

Been there 3 times, this time is solo trip to explore around. My trip was from 1-4 November 2025. For boat (round trip) - 25 USD. For motorbike daily rental - 10 USD (1.25$ per litter, cheapest way of transport). For staying is from 10$ for nights. Sunset view point is at Long Beach or Sok San Beach. Travel time is mostly for dry season, not much rain. Raining season is not recommend due to heavy rain. There is only one Pagoda (2025) on the island. Bring your own carpet, so you can just enjoy the sea. Internet is not stable there but wifi at cafe or hotel are great. I will go back again for sure, never get tired of Koh Rong island.

Koh Rang island has some beautiful beaches and is not, I repeat, not really developed. So if you’re looking a high end restaurants and facilities - they are few and far between. But if you enjoy rustic older world charm - you will likely enjoy a few days there. One day I rented a scooter and explored the island (be very careful of wet red earth - is extreme slippery) and another day walked miles along the shores through a couple different beaches. In busy areas on I can see the place filled with younger backpackers, as there are a multitude of “hut” type accommodations - with and without AC. I need AC 😃! I always found some delicious food (I was in Koah Touch)- from great pizza for $7 to a Ribeye steak and fries for $15 ( with free drink). From Phnon Penh - a simple bus ride (paid $14.5 for executive bus with Vireak Runtharm Express) to Sihanoukville - a tuk-tuk to the Tourist port and walk into an Express Boat office. Boats leave every hour or so. Cost is around $25 return per person. You have to tell them you hotel so they drop you at the pier of the correct beach. From there you can often just walk to your hotel (or TukTuk are around).

The sea is very clear and beautiful. A great place to explore. Sea exploration services, such as diving to see coral, watching the sunset,... are affordable. Food is not rich. In the morning, there are very few people selling food. Hotel and motel prices are expensive, not commensurate with the money you spend. Suitable for young people who like to explore and adventure, not suitable for the elderly.

It’s like a true resort 🏝️ You have to come! A dreamy island like this really exists here.

100/10, it is such a perfect and peaceful place to recharge if you love sea and nature ❤️

We loved Koh Rong but the accommodation and food more expensive than main land understandably. It’s a great place to kick back and chill after city madness. Made be a little more suited the adventurous and younger ones??

Even though it's not my top 1 beach in Sihanouk ville anymore ,but I still love this beach such a beautiful Beach with white sand and views of high rise buildings.

We have a lot of fun ☺️ It's fresh, we feel good. The beach is so beautiful. I feel like the weather today is so good to us; sunshine and breeze and wave 🥰💓❤️ We hope to see you again 😊 For us, this place is very convenient

Recently visited Ochheuteal Beach and had a wonderful time. The beach is beautiful with a lively atmosphere. It's a great spot for relaxation and enjoying the seaside. However, it can get quite crowded, so arriving early is recommended!

As my photos will show this is just a wonderful beach. We were on it day and night and especially at sunset this was the place to be. Lots of pizza places as well and just sitting on the beach watching the people, the water, soft waves and sunset was a highlight of our visit to this area.

One of the beautiful beach in KPS, but Otres's better. What otres didn't make me stay and enjoy because it have no public shower after we swim. Ochheuteal had them i didn't count but its probably 3 of them which meant it won't cost you any money for shower 🚿 but there's some kids around asking money after you showered, don't give them nth. but that would be good if you're kind, just leave some money in the box in-front of the shower place, or nearby to support them. hate to say cuz government support this thing. but still need labor to bring water there. yeah, sunday there's a lot of people there, probably a little quiet another day. people try to rent something for you to sit or hammock 10,000R = $2.5, others flat things like $5 for one. a bit noisy and lots of people try to sell their seafoods grill like small octopus 🐙🦑. No money 🤑 that won't do good around there but yes you can bring your own foods and drinks there and ignore their calling to buy stuffs. I don't like it but sometimes i still need to buy cuz I'm hungry 😋😅. oh one more things, help bring the trash to the nearby garbage 🗑️. the beach can watch a beautiful sunset 🌇 and mostly safe to swim, 95% safe cuz 5% there some bottle 🍾 blade people throw it in there for a very long time ago and of course there's NO Shark 🦈 lol

Busy place cause lot of people spend their time to enjoy like picnics and tent campi specially during sunset till evening. Great place to unwind!

It is a nice place to just chill and feel the sea breeze. Lots of spot to catch the sunrise or sunset or just to watch the waves. There are also a lot of establishments to eat and drink around it.

Was clean and kept in good condition. Great view of the city down to the coast. Was a few monkeys running around as well.

Worth seeing if you're going to be in Sihanoukville. I believe the monkeys here are long tail macaques. Probably the most exciting part for me was watching them play. It's a really pretty spot and I spent about hour to walk the grounds

Nothing special. Nice looking pagoda. Direct entry is forbidden. Surrounding area is full of waste and debris. Kids running up to you immediately and after you, begging. Some monks around and some monkeys on all houses. Many dogs barking at you entering the area. Pass app is also working up there and drivers come picking you up.

Nice and quiet place to relax.. I go there many times with my son as he like to play with the monkeys.. You can enjoy fresh breeze and fresh air .. that really missing now downtown in Sihanoukville...there is nothing special to visit but the place is clean and have a good view point of all the town!!!

A place should be visited and spent time for practice anapana or vipassana by thyself 😊

Great temples, very beautiful place

Nice quiet place with locals and a good view!

Such a wonderful place to Relax They have a pool and you can rent a bike for explore the hotel place

Very romantic place with beach view You can go in evening ...so you can sunset Have swimming pool.. Food...good taste with Indonesia food Staff ... Very humble but just 1/2 staff can speak English very well I must back here again.. With my husband.. 😘😘

We bought our food in the local food market. It was cooked directly in the market. Then, we had our lunch on the beach where we rented a table and a few chairs. The independance beach is perfect for lunch/diner and for swimming in the sea as well. The sand was nice, white and smooth and there were few people. Great place for family hangout’s. But, if you want nobody near the beach, for instance if you want more privacy for couples, it’s better to go to a beach dedicated to swimming.

It's just unbelievable beauty like as Maldives. Blue sea, broken stone ufff it's wonderful views . If you are in combodia then please must visit. It's asian less Vegas.

Love the view there specially sunset gazing, places are clean and you can even do a picnic.

I spent a great time there for New year. There was an event organized by a Beer -ABC- and it was just great. Spent a really good time for new year eve.

A real shame as local don't comprehend that litter is bad for a place roads poor. Great hand and foot therapy though

Traditional market here, all you can get here and really fun adventure. All payment easy by QR code indeed cashless, some open for bargain price.

Yeah you HAVE to see this place. Wow, everything. plan a couple hours to see it all. Clothes, jewelry, hats, souvenirs, prepared food, flowers, live and gigantic sea food in swimming tubs, (look at those monster blue prawns) and even stacks of counterfeit cash from any country. Even grandma dressed like she's fifteen. Fun!

Central market in Sihanoukville, possible to buy everything what you want – fruits, meat, fish, seafood, clothes. Of course better come from morning

It's a local market. It has the freshest food, vegetables, and seafood around. It’s a great place to find everything you need.

Excellent market. Kind to tourists and not pushy.

Well you can immerse yourself in the mayhem of Cambodia daily life. We managed about 50minutes wandering around here. Lots to see , hear but more often , smell ! I’d be very wary buying , you have to have a price in mind and say with it a half or a third of the price stall holders kick off with ! We found quite a few money exchange kiosks around local streets nearby and they were good rates If you want to get a feel of everyday life give this a visit . Be aware and be on your toes and you should be OK

Can buy day today groceries, fish, beef, vegetables, other ingredients, and many more.

Interesting, ornate Buddhist temple complex, visited by monkeys and you can sit with a monk in prayer for a modest indulgence. 45 minutes takes in the sites.

This place is amazing with the many Buddist shrines. They are in very good repair. There are not at all run down like at some sites. You also have a good chance of seeing the monks. We were told that around 300 monks work, Study and pray here. When we went there was a small snack and juice stand. They do have primitive toilets.

This is the pagoda where many residents of Sihanoukville practice Buddhism. Here you may see monks chanting and young monks learning Pali languages.

One of the best Buddha Temple that you shouldn't miss when you visit Sihanoukville. We visit a couple of times per year and on these special occasions, we come for Pchum Ben, Ben4. We feel extremely good after we visit with our family.

Buddhist temple in Sihanoukville, Cambodia. Colorful paintings & shrines adorn this small Buddhist temple featuring traditional architecture. This temple is one of the famous temples in Cambodia. It has exquisite carvings and intricate colors. The outer walls of the temple are all frescoes, which are spectacular.

Happy Khmer New Year friend all Cambodia 🎉🎉🙏🏼 Wish all good come , healthy and all dream come true ☺️ Very Nice place , for pray buddhis history of buddha born until get Maha nibbana elightment 😇🙏🏼 must come here 🙏🏼😇

Something about this Pagoda was one of my favorites. Probably because my guide used to be a monk there. Work was being done to maintain and improve.

This island is truly a paradise on earth. - I love its crystal clear water, snow-white sand and tranquil atmosphere. There is no trashes on Saracen Beach. During the day I did snorkeling and fishing and sunset The bioluminescence plankton was amazing.But you have to jump into the sea in the dark to see it; believe me it’s worth it. - There are party beaches and quiet beaches so choose wisely based on your preference. - I stayed at La Passion Achariyak Resort. The hotel is very accommodating and offers exceptional services. The staffs are super friendly. It has a nice swimming pool and the beach is super clean and peaceful.

Koh Rong Sanloem is a tropical paradise that still retains much of its natural charm. The island is home to several boutique and luxury resorts, especially around Saracen Bay and Sunset Beach, making it a great place to unwind away from the crowds. Getting here, however, is a bit of a journey. First, you’ll need to reach Sihanoukville, which itself is not easily accessible from Phnom Penh due to limited and often delayed bus services. Once in Sihanoukville, a ferry ride (usually 45 mins to 1 hour) will take you to the island. It’s worth noting that weather conditions can sometimes delay or cancel ferries, so flexibility is key. There are no ATMs on the island, so carrying sufficient cash is a must. Also, internet and mobile signals can be patchy. While much of the island is still serene, parts of Koh Rong Sanloem—like its sister island, Koh Rong—are undergoing rapid development, largely driven by Chinese investments. This could potentially impact the untouched feel in the near future, so it’s best to visit sooner rather than later. Despite the travel hassle, the island’s beauty, clear waters, and magical sunsets more than make up for it.

This is an honest, non-romantic review (I struggled to find objective and updated info before visiting the island). DO NOT GO. The pretty pictures you see from this island are at least 4 years old, or point to the see in a bright day, hidding all the rubbish and rubble in the shore. I have traveled for years around Asia and know well that some rubbish is to be expected in most beaches, but this is a whole new level. There are mountains or trash everyhwere, incredibly dirty abandoned buildings (not in a cool urbex way), half the island has been abandoned and trashed while the other half is under construction. They have bulldozed BIG part of the jungle to allow tractors to carry turists between beaches, but for some reason these new "paths" are so unnecessarily wide that you could land a small plane there. Also they're so poorly made that it's exhausting to walk in them, it's very irregular and steep, and with zero shade. So you won't see many animals, cause they've either been killed or displaced. The whole place lacks charm. The island is also SO overpriced. In Sarracen beach is hard to find a meal for less than 5$ (this is Cambodia, that's 4 times the price of a simple meal elsewhere). The water seemed somewhat dirty, kinda greenish (or even brown!) where it should be blueish. It's impossible to put your towel anywhere more than 1m away from garbage, it's like the ocean brings in all the waste from nearby cities. I did feel like I arrived 5 years too late the island has been severly ruined. An expat who has lived in the island for a decade mentioned that the Chinese investors abandoned their projects there and moved their businesses to Koh Rong. Koh Rong is indeed way cleaner and more interesting. The jungle remains jungly, the water is blue, there are many beaches to choose from, -some nicely secluded-, and there are more food options a bit cheaper than in Koh Rong Sanloem. In my opinion, this island is a total waste of time and money. The neighbor Koh Rong is way cleaner and more interesting with clearer water and many beaches to choose from, some all to yourself. Also the neighboring islands in Thailand are way nicer and cheaper (Koh Kood, Koh Mak -but perhaps avoid Koh Chang, which has become way too touristy and waters don't seem clean in 2024). If you're really curious about the place, base yourself in Koh Rong, and go to Koh Rong Sanloem as a day trip. You'll save some money, and will spare yourself the sadness of witnessing how a wonderful place has been unreversibly destroyed.

The island is undeniably beautiful, however, it falls short of being the paradise it's often described as. I arrived with great expectations, only to be slightly disappointed. While the white sand beaches are stunning, there is a significant downside: constant construction noise, unfinished projects, and plastic waste. Additionally, if you rely on internet access for work purposes, you may struggle to find a reliable connection.

Beautiful island bad managed. Have you ever answer to anyone where are the sewer discharges on the dozen resort on Saracen Beach? I realized they are just under the beach. This is the reason why I felt bad smell all along the beach. The trail for Sunset Beach it's NOT 20 min as they say... We reached this beach in 50 min fighting with tons of mosquitoes and mud. The waterfall at the end of the beach it's interesting. We was at Sara Resort for 4 nights. This resort is one of the most expensive in the island principally for the prices of the restaurant. We eated in many other places. One we appreciated was the local fried sweet potato at The Big Easy, we tried also fish BBQ on the beach. This is the first time that I don't know if recommend this place...

Lovely Island! Overall great beaches, tasty food and fun activities 🏝️ Changing rapidly by chinese developers, lots of deforestation and plastics in the ocean & jungle 🌳 Beware, no ATMs on the island, bring enough cash or face a 10% fee 💰

Loved this secluded island. We stayed at Island Centre Point accommodation which was a beautiful luxury. The beaches have restaurants, shop, laundry service, etc dotted along the way.

I just want to share some of my photo that's I've been there. It was very exciting as you can see. It's real photo no edit. If you go there just keep it clean🥰 thanks

Nice place to relax! The road is paved, there are trees and rocks by the beach

Beautiful place to relax and enjoy short fishing trip Small islands around to see

Great quet beach. More for a time to relax or have a picnic. Not really a place for swimming. But you can take a boat to one of the islands close by!

Just felt from the port to the beach at every step people trying to fleece tourists. Tuk tuk driver wanted double the going rate. Over charged and short changed in local restaurant. ...and we are savvy travellers God help the naive ones

Best beach to visit with island landscape

Ream's pristine beach lies in Ream National Park. Take Route 4 north to Airport Road. Right, 9km to the sea. The Ream Beach in Sihanoukville is great for getting away from the city. Located on the outskirts, it is a nature lover's dream. It delivers you the greatest of creation and will entice you to return again and time again. The Ream Beach of Sihanoukville is nearly 20 km away from the town's center. Nevertheless, this distance will appear trivial when you spend those wonderful times in a paradise. The road to Ream Beach in Sihanoukville is rather straight with few turns or twists. From the airport, take Route 4 north to Sihanoukville's unusual aquatic body. You can also use public transit to your location. The Ream Beach in Sihanoukville will immerse you in the unspoilt beauty of nature. One of the most beautiful sites in Sihanoukville's Ream National Park, it is often visited by nature lovers. Despite its small size, Sihanoukville's Ream Beach is one of the most charming in the city. Aside from exciting exploring, Sihanoukville's Ream Beach is great for relaxation. You may even watch the fishermen at work. Because this is a remote area, there are just a few small booths here, so bring your own refreshments. Thanks for reading my guiding post!! 🌊🤗🎉⛱️

Probably the cleanest beach in the city, as it is private and at least 6 times people clean it. Need to pay $20 for entrance to use this beach. Everything is pricey inside. Coffee costs $4 + service charge. Needs some renovation. Toilets are dirty. Horrible construction view.

beautiful clean beach, cozy place, delicious desserts and tea ☺️ nice smiling staff 👍 great place to relax, swim and just have a good time on the beach 😀 on the beach there are quite a lot of sun loungers with umbrellas protecting from coconuts 😅 and they are free, but for those who like comfort you can sit on the sofas at the tables and drink tea 😄

Luxury hotel, well cleaned room, tasty food, feel very comfortable with safe and beautiful private beach in Sihanoukville.

The beach is wonderful but we unfortunate come with a very bad weather - raining all the time during our stay. This beach used to name originally Orchitel beach but was rename to Sokha Beach instead. Great to explore the place and best view ever

Beautiful yet private beach.

It’s been taken care of, therefore the beach is clean and beautiful. Above the standard and love the night view ^^

The beach here is nice and so sandy it have many small but there is a trash come from Sea

I like the coffee here very nice.

Small minimart selling such kind of drink, snack, noodle... And more

It's​ easier to finding something in local

I like to go there there have alot for eat

A good place for buying food and drink.

A small shop where you can buy daily use stuff.

.

The experience with High Point Rope Park is so amazing. The guide is wonderful. I highly recommend it, and you also save cost for ferry to the island. I can join the tree top adventure as well as the zip line to see the island from high view.

My husband went here during KNY2020 holiday. I was able to follow from the ground for a bit with our baby, then we headed back to the checkin office/treehouse and chilled in a hammock until my husband came back. He saw some monkeys and a flying squirrel. The instructor helped take lots of great photos and videos! Highly recommend

A must do in Koh Rong ! We had a great time thanks to Nat who was a very funny, patient and knowledgable instructor. Views from mamma tree on the bay are very nice, especially at sunset (which was the case for us). We also saw the monkey family living there having fun on the bridges as well as many geckos and animals. The zip lines and bridges are diverse and in great condition and safety was well ensured by Nat all along the way. We recommend it !

It was fantastic! If you are looking for something a little bit different then just spend your lazy days at the beach, this is it. It has a bit of everything what you need for a day off from the beach! It was exciting, scary, monkeys, fantastic view(or should I say amazing view!), fun and the best part of it! The zip lines! Just wish ot could have been a bit more of them! But the last one totally the best! Well worth a visit!

Amazing rope park. Several zip lines, climbing, rope walking and other fun and sometimes challenging things. After you made the route first time with instructor you can come back later this day (or next day if your first time was late) and go on the route by yourself which is even more adventurous. Privet to amazing instructor Marusya! And by the way you'll get t-shirt and bandana for free. They have helmet mount for Sony action cam.

One of my favourite zip line ever i have great view and the instructer was a nice person soo kind and friendly

“Great adventure, nice view from top of Koh Rong” like a great place of fresh and good view. nice guide with all professional. I wish to visit again and make me feel great.

Giving this beach 1 star on purpose because it's literally perfect as it is right now. Probably will get ruined/overcrowded sooner or later like most of the other beaches in Sihanoukville. Some locals literally parked their motorcycles right on the sand.. that wouldn't be possible at most beaches here anymore.

Beautiful beach with soft white sand and a clean, peaceful environment. Perfect spot to relax and enjoy nature.

A nice beach that hasn’t been impacted by the development of the city! The water is very nice and calm for a swim, and the sand is great! There are local food stalls with affordable options! Also a shower/bathroom along the beach street. Would definitely come here again for an afternoon leisure!

For very first time we were been there & positively surprised to see this white sand beach! Really beautiful & could be one of the finest beach in Sihanoukville!! Though not yet been commercialised & no nearby restaurants, but you can easily spend 2-3 hours with loved ones.

Very attractive beache among the other beaches at shihanuk village . How could I describe about it 💦 . I recommend you to get there for your holiday with friends and families. Otres beach 🏖🏝 very awesome

Wow what a little gem... Protected as well so no building at all... Awesome family run business for food and drinks. A bit weird the ordering system but once you get the food it's also awesome what more could you want beautiful beach and awesome local food... Ooo try the wild boar it is to die for...

Wonderful beach for local community level relax with local khmer food.
