152 km south of Chittagong, connected by a good road, lies Cox's Bazar. The beach, sloping gently into the Bay of Bengal stretches over a length of nearly 120 km. It is claimed to be the longest natural beach in the world!
Cox's Bazar itself has a lot to offer; such as the silvery sands, towering cliffs, surfing waves, rare conch shells, colorful pagodas, Buddhist temples, variety of tribes, early morning fish market, etc. There are also a few very old wooden Buddhist temples at Ramu, a few kilometers from Cox's Bazar, well worth visiting.
A drive to Teknaf, which is the southernmost tip of the mainland of Bangladesh, is a memorable journey. A day trip to either Moheshkhali or Sonadia, the deltaic islands nestled among the gentle waves of the Bay of Bengal, will also be really interesting.
St. Martins Island, reached by boat from Teknaf, is the only place in Bangladesh where you can observe living coral. It is a small island without any rickshaws and cars.
