Surfing and Beach Camping in Cox’s Bazar

Waves on the world’s longest natural sea beach.

Surfing and Beach Camping in Cox’s Bazar

Ride the Bay of Bengal swell and sleep under the stars along 120 km of sand.

Cox’s Bazar claims the title of the world’s longest unbroken natural sea beach. While wave quality varies, local surfing clubs offer lessons and board rental at accessible beach breaks, particularly during the southwest monsoon months when swell is more consistent. Beach camping has expanded in recent years, with organised sites offering tents, basic facilities, and the chance to wake to the sound of the surf. Quieter stretches beyond the main tourist points reward those seeking solitude, while the long shoreline remains ideal for extended walks at sunrise or sunset.

Plan Your Trip

  • When to visit: November–March for cooler, drier beach weather; June–August for more consistent surfing swell (accepting higher humidity and occasional storms).
  • How to Travel: Direct bus or flight from Dhaka to Cox’s Bazar; local transport and walking cover beach points.
  • Where to Stay: Hotels and guesthouses in the main beach areas (Laboni, Kolatoli, Sugandha); organised campsites for overnight beach stays.
