Kep Beach & Crab Statue
ឆ្នេរកែប
A small bay in the center of Kep town, with a giant blue crab statue standing in the sea. It is Kep's most iconic photo spot.
Kep Beach is a small sandy stretch about 500 meters long, built on the bay of a former French-era resort. The sand was brought in from elsewhere, and the water is shallow, so it suits wading more than long swims. Hammocks can be rented under the wooden shelters by the beach. A short walk east along the seafront promenade, a giant blue crab statue stands in the sea and has become Kep's symbol. Nearby are the Kep seaside walkway, the Crab Market, and seafront restaurants. It is busiest at sunset.
