Beach Bar in Cambodia

Enjoy your afternoon in the Beach Bar

Author Chankrisna

Cambodia’s coastline is varied, ranging from battered fishing villages to the glittering resorts of Sihanoukville. For those seeking to experience something a little more authentic, there are also many smaller coastal towns where you can escape the crowds and feel like you’ve entered another world.

The Kampot region is one of these places. A smaller district within the larger Kampot province, this area is home to a cluster of lesser-known coastal towns—some small enough that they are accessible only by boat or on foot. One of these communities is Kep Beach. If you’re wondering how to spend your afternoon in the Cambodian beach bar, Kep Beach won’t disappoint. Read on for our guide to this fascinating corner of Cambodia and everything it has to offer visitors...

An introduction to Kep Beach

Kep is a relaxed seaside town, with a long stretch of beach and a small fishing port. The town is located about 8km from Kampot, the provincial capital, and is a popular spot for day-trippers. Despite its popularity, Kep Beach retains a peaceful vibe, with a handful of cafes, seafood restaurants, and craft shops lining the waterfront. There is also a small central park, which is a popular spot for locals to sit, chat, and play board games, and a large outdoor bar, which is a great place to watch the sunset.

Kep Beach is a great place to go for a walk or to relax by the beach and drink a beer. City has a subtropical climate, with warm and humid weather all year round. Kep is, however, much drier than the rest of Cambodia and experiences noticeably fewer rainstorms. This, combined with its coastal location, means that the weather is often exceptionally sunny and warm. Visitors should, however, always be aware of the potential for squalls and storms at all times of the year.

Kep Beach is a sleepy coastal village that attracts a very low number of tourists, even though it has a long stretch of white sand beach and a large river.
