At Cox’s Bazar’s Inani Beach, rows of neatly lined sampan boats charm the seascape.
Under the bright sun, the colorful boats set against the backdrop of the blue waves create a mesmerizing view — almost like a living painting.
Tourists are drawn to Inani not just by the sea but also by the beauty of the sampan boats. Many stop to take pictures beside them, while others climb aboard to capture lasting memories.
Local fishermen use these boats daily for fishing, but they look more like works of art to tourists.
Travelers say the presence of these boats enhances the beach’s appeal and gives it a unique identity.
Tourism entrepreneurs believe that sampan boats are fast becoming one of Inani’s key attractions, along with the natural beauty of the coastline.
For many tourists, a photo with these vibrant boats is now a must-have souvenir from their trip.
