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.
