Kampong Som, also known as Sihanoukville, is Cambodia's only maritime port, located 232 kilometers from Phnom Penh and accessible via one of the best inter-provincial roads in the country. Kampong Som is not only a seaport, but also an area famous for its picture-postcard tropical beaches.

It is situated on a headland, so visitors can choose from a range of white beaches, the most popular being Sokha, Ocheteal and Hawaii beaches, all of which are within a few minutes’ drive from the town's center. Local fisherman will take visitors to any one of the nearby islands where the coral, teeming with tropical fish, is perfect for snorkeling, diving and fishing. There are many restaurants catering to various national tastes, but it is particularly well worth trying the freshly caught crab, shrimps and other seafood the region has to offer. The warm sands, cool breezes, blue skies and delectable seafood of Kompong Som can be experienced and savored all year round.
