Cox’s Bazar Sea Beach is the longest natural sandy beach in the world. The beach has a gentle slope with unbroken length and stretches to 155 Kilometers (96 miles) and this is the most visited tourist destination in Bangladesh. By popular choice, Cox’s Bazar has recently been ranked as one of the ‘New Seven Wonders of the World’. It is the most developed of any tourist destination in Bangladesh and you will find tourist facilities there better than anywhere outside Dhaka but please do not expect it to be as posh as some other popular beach destinations like southern Thailand. The area around the beach is home to nearly 8,000 different kinds of flora and fauna. The waters hold a plethora of sea life creatures including jellyfish, starfish, numerous fish species, and also two different types of rare sea turtles.

St. Martin’s Island (Narikel Jinjira or Daruchini Dwip) is the only coral island in Bangladesh, located in the southern Bay of Bengal very close to the Myanmar border. It is the right place to relax and calm your soul. Many poets call Saint Martin’s Island a piece of heaven on earth. The phrase rightly describes the almost indescribable beauty of Bangladesh’s only coral island. Its dunes and a long beach studded with natural sandstones, shoreline full of colorful corals, umbrella tree (Pandanus odorifer) trees, and coconut groves that seem to have turned it into a piece of heaven.
