Discover more about Pantai Kep

Pantai Kep, also known as Kep Beach, is a tranquil, one-kilometer stretch of white sand that curves along the tip of the Kep peninsula in Cambodia. This idyllic beach offers a serene escape, attracting visitors with its calm waters and relaxing atmosphere. Once known as Kep-sur-Mer, the area was established in 1908 as a retreat for French colonialists, earning the moniker 'Riviera of Asia'. Kep flourished as Cambodia's premier seaside resort through the 1960s, but later fell into ruin during the Khmer Rouge regime. Today, Kep is experiencing a renaissance, drawing travelers seeking an off-the-beaten-path coastal experience. Dining platforms and seafood vendors line the road behind the beach, offering freshly caught and prepared seafood, including the town's famous crab. Kep Beach is a popular spot for both locals and tourists, especially on weekends. During the week, the beach offers a quiet and undisturbed atmosphere.
