Introduction
Sihanoukville is Cambodia's premier beach destination, popular with locals, backpackers and expats alike. But despite considerable amounts of recent development, the town can still be disappointing for those who come expecting a Thailand-like beach experience. Sadly, when many people think "Cambodia islands" they draw a blank, but nothing could be further from the truth -- Cambodia has some outstanding islands -- and here are some of our favourites.

Sihanoukville looks different from most other Cambodian cities. Built-in the late 1950s to make the port city, Sihanoukville is newer, more urbanized and more integrated with the world than other Cambodian cities. Now, Sihanoukville is a tourism city in which Cambodia people go on holiday during the weekend and the number of foreign visitors is increasing. Visitors can catch cows occasionally crossing the main road, the curious eyes of the local people. Most beaches have umbrellas, eatery-roofed eateries, more restaurants, bungalows, and hotels. Tourism has not been exploited much here, so the landscapes, as well as the beaches, are very wild and clean.
