Cox’s Bazar sea beach is attractive at any time of the year. Most of the visitors choose the winter season to visit Cox’s Bazar. The cool weather and the mildly warm salty water of the sea is truly enchanting. Accompanied by heavy winds and a dim, magical sky, the night sea breeze does not seem to convey the feeling. Many people enjoy this winter season with family.
However, you can visit Cox’s Bazar at any time to enjoy the beauty of the world’s largest beach. With the passage of time, the appearance of Cox’s Bazar is different in every season.

What can be done at Cox’s Bazar Beach?
There are some foods available here that I don’t know if they are available anywhere else in the country. Some of such foods are – Roopchanda, Prawns, Tuna, Crab, Squid, Shrimp etc. Ah Rupchanda wants to eat when he hears the name, shrimps are nothing compared and tuna because the water comes to life – but when he hears the names of crabs and squids, now it seems that the saying is really true “what is not eaten”. It’s just my opinion that many people like to eat crab and squid, so you can try it too. They are usually sold fried in oil. I didn’t talk about dryness, I said it’s better to test it yourself. Roopchanda, Prawns, Tuna, Crab, Squid, Shrimp are available in many places of Cox’s Bazar but to get the best you have to go to Sugandha Beach. Here the roopchandas are 100-350 taka, shrimp 5-200 taka, tuna 100-800, crab 20-300, squid 50-250, and dried fish are of different prices.
