Lamherkay Beach

Sihanoukville


About 1.5km southwest of Victory Beach, next to a shady grove, is Lamherkay Beach, also known as Hawaii Beach. Koh Pos (Snake Island), the island 800m offshore, has been leased by Russians with big resort plans, which explains the flashy new bridge linking it with the mainland. It’s currently a bridge to nowhere, as work on the actual resort appears to have stalled.
