Why go
Coastal Coffee is a café built right on the sand of Ochheuteal Beach, the long stretch of beach on the southern side of Sihanoukville. Its surfboard-shaped sign hangs over a rattan swing on the beach, and the main room looks straight out to sea.
It is an easy place to stop between swims or walks along the shore: order a coffee or a cold drink, take a seat facing the water and stay a while.
From our visit
Our editor, Pixer, stopped in at the end of October. It is a great spot to sit facing the beach and enjoy coffee and all kinds of other drinks.
The interior is clean and well designed. Tall timber beams frame the ceiling, woven rattan lamps shaped like fish hang over the room, and the coffee bar is clad in deep green fish-scale tiles. The armchairs are covered in orange and white stripes, which suits the seaside setting.
What stays with you is how open the place feels. Folding glass doors run along the beach side, so the room flows onto a covered terrace and the palms and sea beyond.
Watching the sunlight dance on the waves from your seat is a quiet pleasure, and it is the main reason to come.
Getting there
The café is on the beachfront of Ochheuteal Beach, a short ride from the center of Sihanoukville. Tuk-tuks and ride-hailing apps are the easiest way to get there. Ask for “Coastal Coffee, Ochheuteal” or drop the pin from your map app.
If you have a beach day planned, it pairs well with time on the sand right in front of it. For a quieter stretch of coast further south, see our guide to Otres Beach.
Tips for your visit
Go in the daytime, when the sea is bright. Seats near the open doors give the best view of the water.
We could not confirm opening hours from an official source, so check a map app on the day before you go.
Frequently asked questions
Is Coastal Coffee worth visiting?
Yes, if you want a comfortable seat with a sea view. Our editor liked the clean interior, the open, airy room and simply watching the sunlight on the water from a table facing the beach.
Where exactly is it?
It sits right on Ochheuteal Beach, the long beach on the southern side of Sihanoukville town. Search "Coastal Coffee, Preah Sihanouk" in a map app to get the exact pin.
What can I order?
Coffee is the main event, alongside a range of other drinks, so it works for an iced coffee break as well as something cold and non-caffeinated on a hot afternoon.
When is the best time to go?
During the day, when the light is on the sea. The folding glass doors open the whole room to the beach, so a bright afternoon shows the place at its best.
