Lazy Beach

From the north part of Saracen Beach, there's a path next to Sara resort that isn't marked on Google Maps. Then it's a walk on concrete, red dirt track, loose stones and rubble up and down a hill, then a jungle path which can be muddy. You come out at the Lazy Beach Hotel. From Sara to Lazy took 30mins. Definitely wear shoes. The best snorkeling is at the rocks to the north of the beach, which is another 10min walk along the beach. The snorkeling is ok - reef is nice, small groups of the usual tropical fish, but it's close to rocks and the visibility if there's any waves is poor. The north part of the beach is not cared for and full of mounds of trash. Saracen Beach is a much nicer beach, less waves, more gradual steep. The snorkeling or beach is not worth the walk over. If you are going to cross over, go purely for the sunset. Didn't go to sunset beach so not sure if that is better.

Picturesque, quiet and worth the walk from Saracen Bay. Personally, I’d suggest taking a screenshot of a Google Map satellite image of the island and follow the ‘roads’ rather than the signposted dirt trail which is bit sketchy in places. Limited or no phone signal on the west side of the island, but you can get WiFi and a drink at the Beach Bar Lazy Beach

Beautiful wild beach. I recommend coming here first thing in the morning before other people arrive. You will have the beach to yourself and it’s beautiful. The water is not really blue more of a greenish shade but still nice.

A lovely beach to spend a few hours, or longer if you like a quiet and peaceful stay. The water is clear and warm, the beach bar is excellent and the trees provide some shade on the beach. Beware of the mini jellyfish when you go in the water, depending on the current and winds. If you’re coming from Saracen Bay, it is an easy 35-45 min walk, mostly over gravel and some jungle. I’d advise not to wear flipflops.

Since way over a decade we have send our guests from our hotels in Siem Reap to Lazy Beach. Everyone loves it! FINALLY, two days ago we got to visit. And now we understand what the fuzz is all about! SUCH an amazing place!! We had already booked with our friend on the other side, but will definitely also try out to stay here next time! LOVE IT!

Absolutely beautiful beach! Due to being on the other side of the island, there’s no rubbish or wind. The sand is so soft and the sea very calm and lovely to swim in. It was never crowded and felt like such a lovely paradise! It’s about 20 minutes walk from near Sara resort on Saracen bay and can be done easily in flip flops.

This is by far one of the most beautiful beaches I’ve ever been to! It would be perfect but the only thing stopping that is the plastic…I’ve seen some reviews mention there isn’t any but at the time of this review I picked up at least 20 bottles. I hope people continue to try and keep the beach clean as it’s such a beautiful place.

Best food on the island. The staff is so friendly. You also have a great snorkel spot at the end of the beach, with a lots of corals and fishes, and some octopus at times. Best in the morning for a clear view.
