Otres Beach

Why Otres Beach is special ?

- Otres beach streches a three kilometer crescent of near white sand facing the southwest.  - It’s a beautiful, clean, quiet and more relaxed than anywhere in Sihanoukville.

- There many bungalows and small guesthouses on the beach, most sitting right on the sand just a few meters from the water.

- There are no hotels, spas or large restaurants on Otres, just a string of beach-shack bars, restaurants and bungalows stretching along the sand serving seafoods, each place has its own unique flavor

How to get to Otres Beach?

1) The road from Ochheuteal over the hill through Queen Hill Resort allows easy motorcycle access but is blocked to cars and tuk-tuks. 

2) By car or tuk-tuk from Ochheuteal: follow Polaway Street (1 Kanda Street) to the end of the pavement and turn left, cross the bridge and proceed about 500m to the next right turn. Turn and follow the road about 2.3km to the beach. Rough road. 

3) Omui Street from downtown is paved and in good condition. Follow to the Otres turnoff and turn left. 

4) If going it alone, follow the road southeast along the beach and skirt the hill by headling inland on the inviting tarmac. From the city centre, you can take Omui St from Psar Leu east out of town for 5km

5) Otres Beach is about 5km south of the Serendipity area. It’s a US$2/5 moto /remork ride to get here (more at night).
