Otres Beach, Sihanoukville, Cambodia

Canby Publications, Phnom Penh, Cambodia

Otres Beach,  is the next beach south of Ochheuteal Beach and resembles Ochheuteal in many ways - a three kilometer crescent of near white sand facing the southwest. But Otres is far less developed and touristed than Ochheuteal, offering a more leisurely, relaxed atmosphere. There are no hotels, spas or large restaurants on Otres, just a string of beach-shack bars, restaurants and bungalows on the sand, stretched thinly along the length of the beach with more clustered at the near end than the far.

Most all of the beach restaurants serve seafood and more, but each place has its own unique flavor, and a few places present something of a step up from the usual beach fare. These days there are several bungalows and small guesthouses on the beach, all sitting right on the sand just a few meters from the water. Though almost all are constructed of wood and thatch, price and quality of the rooms and bungalows vary considerably, so shop around for the room that best suits your budget and requirements. Bare in mind that the seclusion and lack of development that affords Otres its tranquil atmosphere also limits some services. After dark it can be difficult to travel between Otres and town and many places have electricity only for a few hours a day, usually in the early evening.

To get to Otres: 1) The road from Ochheuteal along the beach and over the hill through Queen Hill Resort allows easy motorcycle access to Otres but is blocked to cars and tuk-tuks. 2) By car or tuk-tuk from Ochheuteal Beach: follow 1 Kanda Street to the end of the pavement and turn left, cross the bridge and proceed about 500m to the next right turn. Turn and follow the road about 2.3km to the beach. Rough road. 3) At time of printing the Omui Street route from downtown was still under construction but passable. Rough road.
