Surfing is no longer just a sport for foreign tourists in Cox’s Bazar. Local youths, especially from Baharchhara, Kolatoli, and Sonarpara, are now taking to the waves with growing enthusiasm. Several surfing clubs are training young men and women—from beginners to advanced—under professional guidance. Many believe surfing could offer not only recreation but also a potential career path, making Cox’s Bazar a rising hub for adventure tourism. Photos taken at Kolatoli Sea Beach.
