The low breakwater around the port provides shelter for anchoring yachts anywhere out of the commercial traffic at a comfortable depth. The recommended anchorage is close to the south east corner. The Marina Oceania in the northwest corner has been abandoned and is mostly unusable.
It is possible to anchor anywhere in a comfortable depth off several of the beaches which are all separated by rocky headlands. The main tourist beaches are Ochheuteal and Otres.
Directly east of the breakwater entrance are plenty or wooden and concrete piers for easy shore trips by dinghy.
Anchor here in six - eight metres in sand off the busy concrete jetty in the north of the bay. This is the entry point to the town CBD and main tourist centre of Sihanoukville. Lots of Chinese Hot Pot restaurants.
Anchor in six - eight metres on a sandy bottom in front of the Victory Beach Pier (formerly the KAMSAB Pier). Ashore, the KAMSAB building is no longer available as a CIQ check in point.
The Koh Rong Group of islands are about 15 miles offshore of Sihanoukville and comprise about 12 islands with the largest being Koh Rong and Koh Rong Somlaem. The east and west coasts of both islands offer plenty of year-round anchorages in many sheltered beaches and bays.
