Even in the age of digital memories, the age-old tradition of inscribing names onto seashells remains popular among tourists visiting Cox’s Bazar. Many visitors still choose to mark their trip by having their names—or those of loved ones—engraved on cowries and conches, often adding the date of their visit as a keepsake. These name-carved shells, collected from the shores of beaches like Kolatoli, serve as tangible souvenirs of the sea—small tokens of a moment remembered.
