23. Ream Beach

Though not devoid of tourist, that Ream Beaches see far fewer visitors than the Sihanouk Ville beaches. It is located in the Ream National Park. Take Route 4 to the Airport road 18km north of town. Turn right, go 9km to the sea. The beach to the right is long, narrow and frequented more by fishermen than tourists. Behind the beach is a mangrove swamp, which attracts a wide variety of tropical birds. The beaches to the left nearer the Naval Base now have a few vendors selling drinks and renting tubes. There is a small $5 per night guesthouse run by the National Park. Check at the park HQ opposite the entrance to the airport.
