Tucked along Cambodia’s southern coastline, Kep is a serene seaside escape known for its fresh seafood, quiet beaches, and lush green hills. Once a luxurious French colonial retreat, today Kep offers travelers a mix of nature, culture, and relaxation.

Wander through the winding trails of Kep National Park, where you’ll be rewarded with panoramic views of the coastline and distant Vietnamese island of Phu Quoc. Just offshore, the peaceful shores of Koh Tonsay (Rabbit Island) invite visitors to relax, swim, or stay overnight in a beachside bungalow.

No visit to Kep is complete without a stop at the famous Crab Market, where freshly caught crab is served straight from the sea — often paired with world-renowned Kampot pepper. Learn more about this prized spice at Sothy’s Pepper Farm or take a guided tour through the scenic La Plantation.

Soak in local life at Kep Beach, a quiet stretch of sand lined with seafood vendors and shady trees. History lovers can explore the abandoned French villas, haunting reminders of Kep’s colonial past, or visit the hilltop Wat Samathi Pagoda for spiritual reflection and sweeping views.

With its unique blend of natural beauty, local flavor, and laid-back charm, Kep is a perfect destination for those seeking a slower pace and authentic Cambodian coastal experience.
