Serendipity Beach

The tourist beach on the East Side of town. Actually the last 200 meters of Ocheteaul beach towards Sokha Beach.  No beach stands here, just Western style bars, hotels and restaurants.  One of the few places with rooms right on the beach (or hillside).  Swimming's not great here, but the scenery on the beach is.  Very quiet daytime, but can be very noisy at night.  Many new souvenir shops, clothing, MP3 downloads, tour services and boat departures to the islands.  Serendipity has turned into the shopping section of town.
You'll find the main tourist pier for trips to the islands here.  Also, Serendipity Beach Road, from the pier 400 meters to the Golden Lions Circle, has over 40 guesthouse/hotels, and over 60 restaurants (covering about 20 different nationalities).  Rooms here are from $1 a night to $200.
