Location
Otres Beach is a white-sand strip in Preah Sihanouk lined with tamarisk and casuarina trees. The beach draws families and budget travellers looking for a quieter alternative to busier coastal spots. Motorboat rentals are available for island trips and snorkelling, and hammocks can be rented for relaxing. Basic facilities include food stalls and nearby budget accommodation. Rinse showers are available after swimming.
Visitors consistently praise the beach's peaceful atmosphere and the affordability of nearby hotels. Many mention it as suitable for children and note the friendly local people. The walking trail is popular with morning runners. However, cleanliness is contested. Some visitors describe the sand and water as clean and inviting, while others report it as the dirtier among Sihanoukville's beaches, with insufficient rubbish bins and visible waste from nearby food stalls making maintenance difficult despite local cleaning efforts. The discrepancy may reflect seasonal variation or recent conditions.
The beach suits those prioritising calm over crowds and families on a budget. December offers particularly good sunset views. Wind can be brisk but adds a cool element to hot days. The quieter setting means fewer tourist amenities than central Sihanoukville beaches, so travellers should come prepared. If water quality is important to your stay, checking current conditions with your accommodation before arrival is worthwhile, as reviews suggest this varies.

A Family-Friendly Gem at Otres Beach! 🏖️
Otres Beach is absolutely beautiful and incredibly safe for children to swim. We loved how convenient it was—there are motorboats available for trips, and the free clean water to rinse off after a dip in the sea is a fantastic touch! For those who like to stay active, there is a very comfortable walking trail perfect for a morning run or exercise. With plenty of reasonably priced hotels nearby, it’s the perfect spot for a budget-friendly family vacation. Highly recommended!
★★★☆☆
Otres beach compare to other beaches in Sihanoukville ,I would say is the dirtiest one. The water is not as clean as on the other beaches. And surrounding is not as nice as in the other beaches ,it looks like a deserted area . There are many food stalls around where you can buy some food and I guess it is a source of garbage on the beach, even local cleaning people doing their job , they are can't keep up with the source of waste. I think the garbage cans may help with this issue, they are missing on the beach and of course if people will use them .
★★★★★
Very quiet and peaceful beach. Awesome and affordable hotels near the beach. Surrounded by amazing things to do!
You can hire/rent a boat for a full day, that will take you out to an island, have a BBQ, go snorkling, etc.
Amazing and friendly people all around!
★★★★☆
Nice place to relax. The wind is cool, and the sun shines warmly on you.
There are hammocks that you can rent to relax on. Beautiful view and wonderful beach.
★★★★★
It's one of the beautiful beach in Sihanoukville. During December, you will see the most beautiful sunset.
