As the Bengali month of Kartik draws to an end, nature seems to whisper the arrival of winter in Cox’s Bazar. 

The air now carries a gentle chill, and the sea breeze blends with a soft veil of mist — together transforming the Marine Drive into a serene landscape of calm beauty. 

On these golden November evenings, as the sun dips beyond the horizon, a thin layer of mist begins to settle over the coastal stretch. 

The crimson hues of sunset slowly fade, giving way to a dreamy stillness as the mist spreads like a soft curtain across the Marine Drive.

Locals and tourists alike pause to soak in the tranquil transformation — from the brightness of day to the tender glow of dusk. 

Wrapped in the hush of fog and sea breeze, Marine Drive turns into a vision of ethereal beauty, a fleeting wonder that captures the quiet poetry of winter’s first touch.
