Kep is a rising beach destination on the Cambodian Riviera that is drawing tourists back with incredible seafood, laid-back atmosphere, green hills, small hotels and restaurants and a famous crab market. This town was a favorite seaside destination for the Cambodian royal family. It's perfect for visitors who want to take it easy, as there really isn't much here in the way of activities. But if you love seafood, sunsets and hikes, then Kep is the place for you. Moreover, it's only a 40-minute tuk-tuk or moto taxi journey away from Kampot, so it makes for a great day trip. As a matter of fact, the provincial town of Kep in Cambodia is famous for the crabs around the world. To welcome the visitors, the locals have built a Crab Statue out in the sea, which is the icon of Kep.
