Summary

Cambodia is much more than just Angkor Wat and Phnom Penh. Kep is a little-known treat. Kep was once the top beach destination in Cambodia, however it is now a quiet, laid-back seaside town compared to the more touristy beaches of nearby Sihanoukville. Easily reached by a four hour drive from Phnom Penh, Kep is scenic in a rugged way, with a short stretch of sand surrounded by mangrove forests and rocky coastal areas. You can even take a boat trip to Rabbit Island, where the white sand beaches make an ideal location of snorkeling, fishing, or picnicking.
