Overview
At the island's southern tip, Khem ('cream') Beach lives up to its name with a kilometer of impossibly soft white sand that keeps landing on world-best lists. A resort claims one end, but the public stretch stays quieter than Sao — the choice for a peaceful swim — and local stalls toward the fishing end grill cheap urchin and lobster. It sits minutes from the Hon Thom cable-car station, sliding neatly into a southern day.
