Miles of golden sands, surfing waves, towering cliffs , rare conch shells, colorful pagodas, Buddhist tibe & temples, delightful seafood--this is Cox's Bazar, the tourist capital of Bangladesh. The warm shark free waters are good for bathing and swimming & while the sandy beaches put forward opportunities for sun-bathing. The attractiveness of the setting-sun behind the waves of the sea is simply fascinating. Locally made cigars and handloom products of the tribal Rakhyne family are good to buy. Each year lots of foreign & local tourist come here to spend their vacation in Cox’s Bazaar. Though the season is in winter but Cox's Bazar sea beach is crowded almost the whole time the year.
