One of the longest natural sea beaches in the world, about 120 km of sand along the Bay of Bengal. The Marine Drive road runs along the coast to Teknaf, and the Himchari waterfalls and Inani beach are nearby.


It's a busy local holiday resort; dress modestly. Saint Martin's Island, a coral island, is reached by boat from Teknaf.
