SIHANOUKVILLE PROVINCE: Samut Sothearith, acting governor of Preah Sihanouk province, said on the afternoon of November 6, 2026, that, under the guidance of provincial governor Mang Sineth, teams regularly work on beaches prone to rainwater erosion each year, grading and levelling the sand to restore their appearance and maintain a clean environment. The work is intended to welcome domestic and international visitors for the forthcoming Water Festival, Ak Ambok and Moon Worship ceremonies, as well as the Sea Festival, which the province is hosting, and New Year celebrations.
As part of these preparations, teams are placing safety buoys to mark safe areas for tourists to swim. The buoys were removed during the rainy season, and teams have begun putting them back into use as the dry season arrives. The provincial deputy governor added that the beach improvement and clean-up campaign runs from អូរឈើទាល beach to ពយជំទាវម៉ៅ (ដើមឈើចាំស្នេហ៍) beach, a stretch he described as more than 7 kilometres long. In addition to improving the sand, the work includes planting more coconut trees and clearing decayed or broken branches along the beaches.
At present, the team led by នង ឌីណារ៉ា, deputy governor of Sihanoukville city, together with the tourism department and relevant units, is working to complete these preparations, ensuring order, a clean environment and attractive surroundings so that domestic and international visitors can be welcomed safely and warmly.
