Cox's Bazar, located in the southeastern region of Bangladesh, beside the Bay of Bengal, is renowned for its stunningly long sandy beach that stretches approximately 120 kilometers. It holds the record for the longest unbroken sea beach in the world. The town is named after Hiram Cox, an officer of the British East India Company. Cox's Bazar is not only famous for its panoramic beach but also for its vibrant bazaars and fishing ports. Its bustling environment is a blend of traditional Bangladeshi cultures with a hint of modern tourism amenities. Tourists can enjoy buggy rides, parasailing, surfing, and the serene views of the sunrise and sunset by the beach. Beyond the beach, visitors can explore nearby attractions such as Himchari National Park, with its tropical rainforest and waterfall, or the tranquil island of Saint Martin's, a coral island off the southern tip. The local cuisine features an array of seafood dishes that reflect the coastal culture of the area. In the hinterlands, the beauty of the landscape transitions to lush hills where diverse tribes maintain their distinct lifestyles and traditions.
