Lying in the land with thousands years of history, Sihanoukville is listed among the most beautiful beaches of the world. Nearly fifty years ago, a French-Cambodian construction carved a camp out of the jungle and started building the first deep-sea port of a newly independent Cambodia. It was named Sihanoukville in 1964 after the ruling prince of Cambodia, the prosperous port and its golden beaches soon drew Cambodia's elite. The town is now much newer, more urban and as much a beach town as it is a port town.
