Experts' Choice Award Independence Beach
What the experts agree on
Independence Beach offers a quieter alternative to Sihanoukville's busier shores, with a pleasant stretch of public sand lined by restaurants and bars—though much of the original beach has been claimed by a resort development.
“Much of Independence Beach... has been taken over by a gargantuan new property development, but a 500m swath is open to the public and features about a dozen restaurants and bars.”
