South Coast

Cambodia's South Coast (ឆ្នេរខាងត្បូង) provides the antidote to temple-hopping tick lists. The beaches draw most folk here, but stick around and you'll see this region is more than its sandy bits.

A popular activity in Sihanoukville, Cambodia is the Dolphin Shack booze cruise which takes backpackers out to swim and party at various islands
