Victory Beach in Preah Sihanouk

Victory Beach is really two long beaches divided by a rocky point and a small hill. The southern section is known as ‘Hawaii Beach’ (also ‘Lemkeray Beach’ and ‘King’s Beach’). The northern section near Weather Station Hill is known as ‘Victory Beach’ and at the report end of the beach, ‘Port Beach’ and ‘New Beach.’

‘Victory Beach’ sits at the base of the very popular Weather Station Hill near the Vietnam-Cambodia Monument (‘Victory Monument’). At time of printing, the section of Victory Beach immediately at the base of the Hill was still undergoing a development project including a beachside restaurants/ bar and the installation of a full-size retired Antonov AN-24 to be converted into an internet café.

The Beach is currently still open beachgoers, and just 50 meters up the beach from the dock area are several little beachside seafood restaurants offering beach chairs and umbrellas, inner tubes, cold drinks and snacks including seafood barbeque. A bit further north along Victory Beach, there are couple of upscale Oceanside seafood restaurants and the Holiday Palace Casino and Resort on the opposite side of the road.

Above Victory Beach, Weather Station Hill (a.k.a Victory Hill, port Hill, The Hill) is a budget traveler and bar/ nightlife area that offers a real variety of places. Budget and backpacker places dominate the side and top of the Hill above Victory Beach overlooking the ocean. Hilltop, the main entrance road from Ekareach Street has a mix of businesses including budget and mid-range guesthouses and hotels, a variety of restaurants and bars, internet café, CD shops, and come evening, several sport bars, hostess bars and other drinking establishments, many staying open into the early morning hours. The top of hill is one of Preah Sihanouk province’s nightlife hotspots. (Source: Sihanouk Ville Visitors Guide)
