Where the sea touches silence and the sound of waves becomes one’s only companion—that tranquil place is called Nazirartek. 

At first glance, it might seem like Saint Martin’s Island. But no, this peaceful beach lies at the southern edge of Cox’s Bazar, just beyond the dry fish yards known as Shutki Mahal.

Nazirartek’s beauty is simply mesmerising. Its calm and secluded surroundings, shimmering blue waters, and vast sand dunes create a picture of untouched nature. 

There’s no city noise, no bustling crowd of tourists—only the gentle rhythm of the ocean. For those who long to feel the sea and nature in solitude, Nazirartek is the perfect escape.

The most captivating moment here is the sunset. As the sun dips below the horizon, the sky glows with shades of gold, painting an ethereal scene across the shore.

Adding to the charm, countless red crabs scuttle silently over the sand—an enchanting sight for any visitor.

Throughout the day, local fishermen are seen busy with their nets and boats. The distant sound of oars slicing through the water, or the splash of freshly caught fish struggling in the net, gives Nazirartek a rustic rhythm—a glimpse into the simple yet profound life by the sea.

Located in Ward No. 1 of Cox’s Bazar town, Nazirartek is a bit away from the central city but well-known among locals. Many visit here during leisure hours to enjoy its stillness and solitude.

Nazirartek remains untouched by commercial tourism. That’s what makes it special. 

If anyone wants to escape the crowd and experience the sea in its purest form—free from noise, chaos, and commercialisation—Nazirartek is a destination. 

Here, there’s no grandeur, no sound pollution—only the blue horizon and the serene embrace of nature.
