Thousands of red crabs add a striking touch to the natural beauty of North Sonar Para beach in Cox’s Bazar. As the tide recedes, the tiny creatures emerge from their burrows and scatter across the wide shoreline in search of food. Their swift movements create a fascinating spectacle across the sandy stretch, attracting the attention of tourists visiting the beach. Many stop to capture the scene on their cameras, as the red crabs, golden sand and sea come together to create a remarkable coastal landscape.
