Miles of golden sands, towering cliffs, surfing waves, rare conch shells, colorful pagodas, Buddhist temples and tribes, delightful sea-food--this is Cox's Bazar, the tourist capital of Bangladesh. It is well known for its wide sandy beach that is claimed to be the world's longest natural sandy sea beach, which is about 125 km. This is one of the best Sea-Beaches in the world, where we can see the sunset and sunrise everyday, with an enjoyable weather.
Cox's Bazar is a district in the Chittagong Division of Bangladesh which is located 150 km south of Chittagong and is connected city by bus and air. The town was named after Captain James Cox of East India, who was in charge of the naval base during 1800 AD. Area of this town is about 2491.86 km². The major source of economy of Cox's Bazar district is tourism. A large number of tourists come almost everyday here from distant places even from abroad like Britain, America, Korea, Japan, India, Nepal, Pakistan and many more countries.
Cox’s Bazar is also one of the fishing ports of Bangladesh. A good number of peoples are also involved in the fishing and collecting seafoods and sea products for their livelihood. It is a good place for sea bathing also. Except the world’s longest sea beach, there are also some more attractive tourist places i.e. Aggmeda Khyang (a large Buddhist monastery), Dulhazra Safari Park, Himchari etc.
The Aggmeda Khyang, a large Buddhist monastery, and a place revered by around 400,000 Buddhist people of Cox’s Bazar and the Chittagong Hill Tracts. The main sanctuary-cum-monastery is carried on a series of round timber columns, which apart from accommodating the prayer chamber and an assembly hall, also is the repository of a large of small bronze Buddha images-mostly of Burmese origin-- and some old manuscripts. Beyond the main khyang to the south there is an elevated wooden pavilion and a smaller brick temple with a timber and corrugated metal root.
Dulhazra Safari Park is an extension of an animal sanctuary located along the Chittagong-Cox's Bazar road about 50 km from Cox's Bazar town. The sanctuary itself protects a large number of wild elephants which are native to the area. Some other animal attractions like Lions, Royal Bengal tigers, Crocodiles, Bears, Chitals and lots of different types of birds and monkeys are also in this safari park.
Himchari is another place located about 18 km south of Cox’s Bazar along the sea beach, a nice place for the picnic and film shooting. It runs by the open sea on one side and hills & water falls on the other which makes the journey to Himchari very attractive.
