Coconut beach is off the coast of Sihanoukville, in Koh Rong Island easy accesssible by ferry. We fell in love with the place the minute we arrived. This beach keeps the natural beauty of an unspoiled place, with only a few accommodations scattered along the shore.

If you look around, you will be astonished by the green scenery of the jungle behind, the turquoise ocean and the white sand beneath your feet.

Behind the beach, if you follow the path that goes over the hill, it’ll take you to the Khmer village, where locals live. Another unique experience to live in the island, meeting the friendly locals and see what they do for a living.

I

f we think about which would it be one of the best beaches in Cambodia, we cannot forget Lonely Beach.

Lonely Beach is located on the northern tip of Koh Rong, this beach remains untouched, being less visited than the other islands.

Lonely Beach is an idyllic secluded beach with turquoise waters, blinding white sand, and unspoiled nature to feel in heaven.

The reason why not many tourists are attracted here is the lack of accommodation. There is only one resort here, which means that guests can hsve the pleasure to enjoy the beach for themselves.

For us, this is one of the best beaches in Cambodia to relax. The lazy beach is located on Koh Rong Samloem Island, a neighbor of Koh Rong but less spoiled.

This island preserves its exuberant natural beauty as it hasn’t been hit by construction yet. There you won’t find more than a handful of tourists which makes the island a secluded idyllic paradise.

The island displays a vivid green jungle blending with the radiant white sand and the turquoise ocean surrounding it.
