Orientation    

The main body of Sihanoukville is spread thinly across a peninsula-like spit of land, surrounded on three sides by beaches. Near the center of the peninsula, 1-3km from the beaches, the downtown area contains the main market, hotels, restaurants, bus stations and other businesses.

Hotels and restaurants can be found across the peninsula, but many are concentrated into three areas: 1) downtown, about 5 minutes from the beaches by moto taxi. Mid-range hotels, restaurants and bars, the main market, banks and convenience stores; 2) Ochheuteal and ‘Serendipity’ beaches with a couple of the town’s best hotels, several mid-range places, and lots of bungalows at the Serendipity end of Ochheuteal; 3) Weather Station Hill (a.k.a. Port Hill, Victory Hill), where there are several budget guesthouses and restaurants. 

Bus passengers from Phnom Penh are let off at the bus station near the center of downtown. Though there are several hotels within easy walking distance of the bus station, to get to a beach hotel you will need to take a motodup. 

At the northern end of the peninsula is the Port of Sihanoukville and the Koh Kong ferry dock. The dock is a couple of kilometers from the nearest tourist facility so you will need to take a motodup to your hotel. The Port area also has a small market and concentration of businesses but does not have the variety that can be found downtown.
