Cox's Bazar, Coastal municipality in Chittagong Division, Bangladesh
A natural beach stretches 120 kilometers along the Bay of Bengal, making it the longest uninterrupted sandy coastline in the world.
Captain Hiram Cox established this settlement in 1799 as a refuge for Arakanese people fleeing from Myanmar, leading to the town's present name.
The region maintains Buddhist heritage through ancient temples in Ramu, while supporting local industries of weaving, salt production, and fish processing.
The city connects to Chittagong via regular flights from Cox's Bazar Airport, with additional transportation options by road and railway networks.
Cox's Bazar houses the largest refugee settlement globally, providing shelter to over 900,000 Rohingya refugees in multiple camps across the region.
