Cox's Bazar World's Longest Natural Sea Beach Walk
Walk along Cox's Bazar — the world's longest natural sandy sea beach at 120 kilometers, stretching unbroken from Teknaf to Cox's Bazar town along the Bay of Bengal coast, where fishing villages, beach resorts, and the endless rhythm of the surf define Bangladesh's most popular domestic tourism destination.

Laboni Beach Main Point
The most popular section of Cox's Bazar beach at the end of the main bazaar road, where beach vendors sell fresh coconut, grilled corn, and shells, and local families wade in the surf in full clothing.

Sugandha Beach Sunrise Point
The northern beach section popular for sunrise watching, where the Bay of Bengal sky turns orange and pink over the water and early morning walkers have the vast beach largely to themselves before the day-trippers arrive.

Inani Beach Rocky Section
The southern stretch where the sandy beach gives way to a rocky tidal flat of reddish stone — an unusual and photogenic section of the coast where crabs scuttle between rock pools and the sea crashes on the exposed reef.

Beach Fishing Village
A fishing village at the beach's edge where wooden trawlers are dragged up the sand at low tide, nets spread to dry, and fishermen repair their boats using skills passed through generations of Bay of Bengal seafaring.

Himchhari Beach Waterfall
A small waterfall flowing directly onto the beach at Himchhari, 12 kilometers south of Cox's Bazar town — the only place on this coast where fresh hill water meets the sea, surrounded by forested hills rising immediately from the beach.

Sunset View Point
The popular hilltop viewpoint above the town for watching the sun descend over the Bay of Bengal — the 120-kilometer beach visible in both directions and the silhouettes of fishing boats heading out for the night catch.
