Besides, the longest sea-beach, Cox’s Bazar and it’s adjoin areas have a lot of things to see and places deserve visit by the tourists.
Himchari : A nice place for picnic and shooting. The famous “Broken Hills” and waterfalls here are rare sights. It is about 32 km. South of Cox’s Bazar along the beach
Inani : Adjacent to Himchari and just on the beach, with the sea to the west and a background of steep hills to the east. Inani casts a magic spell on those who step into that dreamland. It is only half an hour’s drive from Cox’s Bazar and an ideal place for Sea-bathing and picnic.
St. Martins Island : This small coral island about 10km (6mi) south-west of the southern tip of the mainland is a tropical cliché, with beaches fringed with coconut palms and bountiful marine life. There’’s nothing more strenuous to do here than soak up the rays, but it’’s a clean and peaceful place without even a mosquito to disrupt your serenity. It’’s possible to walk around the island in a day because it measures only 8 sq km (3 sq mi), shrinking to about 5 sq km (2 sq mi) during high tide. Most of island’’s 5500 inhabitants live primarily from fishing, and between October and April fisher people from neighbouring areas bring their catch to the island’’s temporary wholesale market. A ferry leaves Teknaf for St Martin every day and takes around 3 hours.
Getting to St. Martin’s is a three-step program. First you’ll need to fly or bus it down to Cox’s Bazar, or direct by bus to Teknaf, which is right on the very tip of Bangladesh, sandwiched up against Myanmar. From Teknar, ferries run daily to St. Martin Island. The total distance from Dhaka to the island is 510km (316miles).
