Kep was established by the French in 1908, and today Kep is mainly popular with domestic tourists who go there for holidays. You can swim or just relax on the warm beach, and Kep offers great seafood and magnificent views of the nearby mountains and beaches. Taking a boat to the offshore islands is also a wonderful experience. Another itinerary, which should not be missed, is an excursion to the serene waterfalls of TekChhou situated about 10 km from Kompot. (see above).
Travel Information
The road from Kampot to Kep is quite good and smooth. It’s about 23 km, and takes 35-45 minutes. Motos are about $3 one-way, and $4 return, but add more if they have to wait around for you.
Kep Beach unfortunately does not have a lot of beach, and it mostly disappears at high tide. The road through Kep follows the coastline most of the way then curves back on itself to form a large loop. A toll is charged for cars but motorbikes are free. Remember this is a one-way road and sometimes police fine people who violate the rule. The beach is normally very quiet but can get very busy at weekends with visiting locals.
