Shaplapur in Teknaf is renowned for its breathtaking natural beauty, where hills and sea blend seamlessly to captivate visitors. It is an emerging tourism gem, offering a tranquil escape that instantly soothes the mind with its combination of mountains, ocean, and lush greenery.
When describing Shaplapur, one must begin with its rolling hills and the pristine sea. Nestled near the Baharchhara Union in Teknaf, the stunning Shamlapur Beach remains untouched, with only fishing boats and fishermen dotting the horizon, making it a perfect retreat for those seeking peace and solitude.
Locals often refer to it as Baharchhara Beach. The peaceful atmosphere, the rhythmic roar of the waves, and the sight of fishermen casting their nets create a scene reminiscent of a novel.
Shamlapur is about 20 kilometers from Teknaf along the Hwaikong Road, accessible by CNG or auto-rickshaw. Visitors from Cox’s Bazar can also reach Shamlapur or Baharchhara Beach via the Marine Drive, a journey that takes just around two hours, leading to a serene stretch of coastline waiting to be explored.
