COX'S BAZAR-WORLD'S LONGEST NATURAL BEACH

The beach of Cox's Bazar, one of the prime attractions of Bangladesh, is a perfect place for holiday makers and sun seekers. Situated to the northeast of the Bay of Bengal, Cox's Bazar is a 120 km stretch of unbroken sandy sea beach. A 160 km road journey from port city of Chittagong or a 45-minute air journey from Dhaka brings you to this longest beach of the world with its endless miles of golden sands, towering cliffs, surfing waves, and rare conch shells. The beach gently slopes down to the blue water of the Bay of Bengal, blending with the lush green of the hills in the background.

The name Cox's Bazar derived from the name of the British envoy Hiram Cox who dedicated his life to the settlement of Arakan refugees after World War II.

The main attraction of Cox's Bazar is-you guessed it-the beach. In addition, there are sight-seeing tours to Buddhist villages and pagodas, visits to tribal villages, conch shell markets, beach drives by open jeep, trips to Saint Martin Coral Island and Moheskhali Fishermen Island, which are the prime attractions for visitors eager to explore the local culture and natural beauty after enjoying sun and surf.
