Flowing through the heart of Cox’s Bazar, the Bakkhali River feels like a living artwork — a winding masterpiece drawn by nature itself. Its rhythmic tides and the point where it meets the waves of the Bay of Bengal create a truly enchanting spectacle.
Adding to this natural beauty is the eye-catching Bakkhali Bridge. Built with modern architectural elegance, the bridge is no longer just a vital communication link — it has become a popular attraction for visitors. Every day, countless people gather here to pause, take in the view, and enjoy the serene charm of the river.
Locals say travel in this area used to be difficult, but the bridge has not only improved connectivity between the town and Khurushkul but has also opened new doors for tourism.
With lush greenery on both banks, fishing boats dotting the river, and the distant glimpse of the blue sea, the Bakkhali Bridge and estuary have emerged as one of Cox’s Bazar’s most captivating new destinations.
