The world’s longest sea beach, Cox’s Bazar, turned into a canvas of colors on Monday evening as the setting sun painted the sky in shades of orange and crimson.
As dusk approached, the Kolatoli, Sugandha, and Laboni points of the beach came alive with thousands of tourists and local visitors soaking in the mesmerizing view.
With the gentle touch of winter in the air and the golden glow of the sunset spreading across the waves, the beach offered a truly enchanting atmosphere.
Despite being a regular weekday, the massive turnout of tourists surprised many local traders.
“I’ve been to Cox’s Bazar before, but today’s sunset felt different,” said Raihan Hasan, a tourist from Dhaka. “The blend of red and orange across the sky looked like strokes from an artist’s brush.”
Nusrat Jahan, a student of Chittagong University, shared her excitement, saying, “My friends and I came here for a short trip, and this evening was just magical. The laughter and joy of people across the beach during sunset made it feel like a festival.”
From Kolatoli to Sugandha, the beach was bustling with activity — local food stalls, tea vendors, and photographers were all busy catering to the influx of visitors.
The Marine Drive also saw heavy traffic throughout the day, filled with tourists eager to capture the coastal beauty.
