fishing port and district headquarter in Bangladesh. It is an
unbroken 125 km sandy sea beach with a gentle slope down to the
blue waters of the Bay of Bengal. Since the rise and fall of the

tide here is not great, it is a good place for sea bathing. It
is located 150 km south of Chittagong. Cox'sBazar is also known
by the name "Panowa", the literal translation of which means
"yellow flower". Its other old name was "Palongkee". The modern

visited tourist destinations in Bangladesh, it has yet to become
a major international tourist destination, due to lack of
publicity.

visited by a large number of tourist from Britain, America,
Korea, Japan and Indian subcontinental each year. Accommodation
near the beach varies from an expensive range to a reasonable
price. Many private hotels, BPC Motels and two Five Star hotels
