Ochheuteal Beach, known as UNTAC Beach in the early 1990s, is now the most popular in Sihanoukville, offering the full spectrum of beach venues from upscale hotels and dining to laid-back budget beach bars and bungalows.

Ochheuteal is long, sandy and narrow, with ‘Serendipity Beach’ at the northern end and a cluster of mid-range hotels and restaurants about one block back from the actual beach. Grass umbrellas, rentable beach chairs and little drink huts line the beach from one end to the other.

It offers some of Sihanoukville’s better seafood restaurants. Further south along the beach a number of budget traveler / backpacker oriented bar/restaurant/beach hangouts have sprung up offering chairs, umbrellas, drinks and a chill-out atmosphere.

Ochheuteal Beach, being the busiest beach in town, does however suffer from a high number of ‘beggers’, massage girls and ‘trinket’ sellers. The constant “No Thank you’s” do get a little repetitive.
