Koh Puos

Koh Puos, also referred to as Snake Island, is a small island located off the coast of Sihanoukville. It features a secluded beach and clear waters, making it a destination for travelers seeking a quiet environment away from the main city center.

Getting There

The island is accessible via a short boat ride from the Sihanoukville coastline. Depending on the departure point and boat speed, the transit time is brief, typically taking only a few minutes to cross the water.

Duration of Visit

Because of its small size and limited infrastructure, a few hours are generally sufficient to explore the beach and the immediate surroundings of the island.

When to Visit

Visitors should plan their trip according to the regional weather patterns, avoiding the peak of the monsoon season when sea conditions can be unstable. Visiting during the drier months ensures calmer waters for the boat crossing.

Combining with Other Sites

Due to its proximity to the mainland, this trip can be combined with other local landmarks. St. Michael's Church is located approximately 4.1km from the Sihanoukville coastal area used to access the island.
