We Review Cox’s Bazar Beach in Bangladesh
Did someone mess up the name here? Isn’t “bazaar” spelled with two “a’s”? Nonetheless, users have been bugging us to get our beach towel in gear to review this very long strip of brown sand in Bangladesh. They are proud of this baby, and rightly so. It is a relief from the poverty that plagues the country. Here, miles of golden sands, towering cliffs, surfing waves, rare conch shells, colorful pagodas, Buddhist temples and tribes, 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 offer opportunities for sun-bathing. In the coastal hills lies the old temple of Adinath, dedicated to Shiva, which becomes a place of pilgrimage during the month of Falgun (March). The western and northern coasts of the island form a low-lying tract that is fringed by mangrove forests.
