Cox's Bazar Beach, Continuous sandy beach in Cox's Bazar District, Bangladesh
The beach spans 120 kilometers along Bangladesh's southeastern coast, featuring golden sand that extends from Cox's Bazar city to Teknaf without interruption.
The area received its name in 1773 after Captain Hiram Cox, a British India Company officer who established a settlement for Arakanese refugees.
The beach hosts traditional festivals throughout the year, including Buddhist ceremonies and the annual immersion of Hindu deities during Durga Puja.
The beach area contains numerous accommodations, from luxury hotels to budget lodgings, with dedicated zones for swimming and water activities supervised by beach police.
Natural tidal patterns create distinct zones along the shoreline, where visitors can discover various species of shells and observe marine life during low tide.
