The ideal time to visit Cox's Bazar is between November and March. During this period, the weather is predominantly dry with moderate temperatures, making it perfect for beach activities and sightseeing. The monsoon season, which lasts from April to October, is less advisable for tourists due to the heavy rainfall, which can lead to disruptions in travel plans and outdoor activities. However, for those who prefer a quieter visit and don't mind the occasional showers, the shoulder months of April and October can still provide pleasant weather with fewer crowds.
The winter months of December and January see the largest influx of tourists due to the most comfortable weather conditions, with temperatures ranging generally from 16°C to 25°C. This also coincides with various local festivals and events, adding cultural experiences to beach relaxation. Accommodations during this peak season may be harder to secure and prices can be higher, so advanced booking is recommended. If you prefer lower costs and a more relaxed atmosphere while still enjoying good weather, late November or early March could be the best compromise.
