Cox's Bazar is where Bangladesh goes to the seaside. The sand runs for around 120 kilometres south towards Teknaf, one of the longest unbroken sandy beaches in the world, and families fill the shore at Kolatoli and Sugandha as the sun goes down.
Along Marine Drive
Follow the coast road south to the hills and waterfall at Himchari and on to Inani, where rocks and coral stones lie on the sand. Ramu, about 10 km from town, has Buddhist monasteries and pagodas: dress modestly and take your shoes off where asked.
Getting there
The flight from Dhaka to Cox's Bazar Airport (CXB) takes about an hour, and a direct train from Dhaka has run since 2023.
In the sea
Take care when swimming. Quicksand can be a danger at ebb tide, so swim only where local guidance says it is safe, and never alone.
Where to stay
See our Cox's Bazar hotels, from the beachfront Sayeman Beach Resort to the Long Beach Hotel in Kolatoli, or ask us for more options.
Before you go
Entry and visas
With a Bangladeshi passport you need no visa. Relatives and friends visiting on another passport should check Bangladesh's entry rules for that passport when they book and again before they travel.
Health
Use plenty of sun protection on the beach, drink bottled or treated water and guard against mosquito bites. Swim only where local guidance says it is safe.
Money
The currency is the Bangladeshi taka (BDT). Carry cash for beach stalls, markets and local transport.
