The beach Bangladeshi style.
Our first order of business the next morning was to check out the beach. Cox’s Bazaar is one of the premier tourist destinations in the country, although if you’ve been to beaches elsewhere, it’s not too impressive. We read before arriving that sunbathing or swimming would not be an option. Ladies and gentlemen in this part of the world don’t go splashing around in tiny little swimsuits. However, you can rent loungers and umbrellas if you’d like to enjoy the sun and surf fully clothed. We decided to just relax with our books.
One draw back of being stationary on the beach is that you are a target for pedlars. Fortunately, the man we rented our chairs from did a pretty good job of helping us shoo unwanted vendors away.
