In last summer holiday, I took a trip down to Cox’s Bazar with my family to have a break from Dhaka and to see and swim in the sea. Cox’s Bazar is the south-easterly district of Bangladesh, bordering district of Myanmar (Burma). The name ‘Cox’s Bazar’ comes from Captain Hiram Cox, a British, who founded the town.

People who love nature and sea beach, really it is a fantastic place for them. It has the longest sandy beach in the world and the longest uninterrupted beach in Asia. The beach at Cox’s is nice—the sand is soft and fine and continues on as far as you can see. There are many nice places for accommodation and delicious sea food, as well as there is lot of place to visit. I hope everybody enjoy there to have some relax & exciting.

We took a taxi and check in to Hotel Seacrown. It’s very nearer to the sea beach. The rooms were really nice and had large windows, so we could see the beach from 10 yards away.
In the afternoon we walked across to the beach directly in front of the hotel. The beach was pretty deserted with the exception of boys walking around with seashell and Bangladeshi pink pearls necklaces to sell.Bangladeshi pink pearls necklaces were very cheap here th very hard to believe that whether there are real or not.
In both directions (Left and Right) along the beach as far as you can see beach loungers with brightly colored ‘umbrellas’ .The visitors can rent these out for an hour at a time. We walk down the beach for an hour. After walking down the beach we decided to sit under the umbrellas and order for drinks/food. Later on, we decided to do some swimming. The huge waves and cool saltwater were irresistible. We had a great time jumping through the waves and riding them in.
We spent the evening on the beach, and then we want to Angel Point, an open air restaurant. From Angel Point we had a great view of the sea and we enjoy the sun sets. We take coffee and some chips there. A beautiful memorable silhouetted I witch is that sun is setting, fisherman casting fish , red crab scattering into its hole and the waves crashed on the sand.
After sun set, we visited some Burmese stalls/Markets. Cox’s Bazar is very famous for Burmese wares. Where I bought some Burmese shalwaar kameez for my wife & daughter and visited some shell market in town. The shell market is worth a visit, anything and everything made of shells and very cheap. I also bought few Chains and Indian cosmetics which were cheaper than the Dhaka.
Cox’s is a nice place to go, especially if you’ve been in Dhaka for long time. At night, we went to a restaurant set up on the beach with grass huts, a juice bar, music, etc. The staff was very friendly and it was a good place to hang out. Anyway, it was a nice change to get a breath of fresh sea air, see blue, blue sky, swim in the sea, and to see a different landscape.
October to March is the best season for visiting Cox’s Bazar, as the sun is mild and temperatures are pleasant. Besides sea beach and BurmeseMarkets we visited Teknaf, Buddhish monaster,Dula Hajra park, Himchori and Enani Beach.

At night, we would walk along the beach quietly and sit by the waves coming in. It was completely relaxing and beautiful. At night, the beach is quiet, peaceful, empty, and dark. I couldn’t think of a better way to end the summer.
